Quality Control

Our 2-Isopropenyltoluene is produced under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC and HPLC analysis, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Recommended storage temperature is 2-25°C.
