Quality Control

Our m-Isopropylphenethyl Alcohol is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) that document critical parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and physical properties. Our commitment to supply chain reliability and batch-to-batch consistency meets the stringent requirements of industrial and research applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature as an easily oxidized compound, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation, especially after opening the original container. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
