Quality Control

Our 2-[4-[1-[4-(2-Hydroxyethoxy)Phenyl]-1-Methylethyl]Phenoxy]Ethyl Acrylate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and assay, GC for residual monomers, and colorimetry (APHA), to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. Comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). This product is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability and to minimize polymerization risk. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
