Quality Control

Our Mono(2-Carboxyethyl) Phthalate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency, meeting the exacting requirements of industrial and research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee full traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which could affect product quality.
