Quality Control

Our 4-Amino-2-Aminomethylphenol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and titration methods, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available for every shipment. We can support compliance with various customer-specific and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
