Quality Control

Our 4-Hydroxy-5-Isopropyl-2-Methylphenyl Thiocyanate is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and consistent high-quality standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials.
