Quality Control

Our Dichloroethane is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. All products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with agreed specifications and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, ignition points, and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
