Quality Control

Our 2-Methyl-4-Penten-2-Ol is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, IR, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C.
