Quality Control

Our 3-Methylhex-2-En-1-Ol is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) for every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, isomer content, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment aligns with the standards demanded by the flavor, fragrance, and fine chemical industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its properties of being easily oxidized and highly volatile, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize evaporation and degradation.
