Quality Control

Our 2,2'-(m-Tolylimino)Dipropanol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and key parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which could affect product quality.
