Quality Control

Our 4-tert-Butyl-2,6-Diformylphenol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize exposure to air.
