Quality Control

Our production of Ethanol,2-[2-(2-Phenoxyethoxy)ethoxy] adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by GC/HPLC, identity confirmation (IR), and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

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