Quality Control

Our 2-Hydroxy-3-(2-Hydroxy-1-Oxopropoxy)Propyl Oleate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, acid value, and hydroxyl value are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider maintaining under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to preserve stability and prevent degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
