Quality Control

Our 2-Methylhex-2-Enyl Butyrate is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the high standards required by the flavor and fragrance industry. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, odor profile, and specific gravity are 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 controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider maintaining under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to preserve stability and shelf life. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
