Quality Control

Our 3-Amino-2,6-Xylenol is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting specifications for industrial and fine chemical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
