Quality Control

Our 2-Amino-3,4-Xylenol is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic and spectroscopic methods, to verify identity and assay. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area 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.
