Quality Control

Our Methylenecyclohexane is produced under stringent quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, water content, and impurity profile.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and ignition points. Due to its highly volatile nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and concentration of vapors. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (refrigerated) for long-term stability, though short-term storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) is acceptable.
