Quality Control

Our 4-Chloro-6-Propyl-Benzene-1,3-Diol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, GC for residual solvents, and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR). A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

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 the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
