| General description: | Diethyl Phthalate is a phthalic acid ester, commonly synthesized by the condensation of the carboxy groups of phthalic acid with methanol.. It is used as a solvent for fragrance in cosmetic formulations and personal care products. Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards. |
| Other Notes: | This Certified Reference Material (CRM) is produced and certified in accordance with ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025. All information regarding the use of this CRM can be found on the certificate of analysis. |
