Quality Control

Our 4-Isopropyl-1-Methyl-1,4-Cyclohexadiene is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC and GC-MS, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment. We support compliance with global regulatory frameworks, including REACH.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C.
