Quality Control

Our 1,1-Bis(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-2-Ethylhexane is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, melting point, and impurity profiles are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its nature of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
