Quality Control

Our 1-Phenoxy-2-Propanol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed batch-specific results are provided and can be tailored to meet GMP or ISO 9001 requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption and prevent evaporation.
