Quality Control

Our 1,5-Dimethylhex-4-Enyl Isobutyrate is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis including identity confirmation, purity assay, and impurity profiling to ensure it meets exacting standards for flavor, fragrance, and synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting specifications such as assay, optical rotation, and refractive index are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential changes in concentration. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
