Quality Control

Our 1,5-Hexadiene Diepoxide is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and performance. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your technical requirements.

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 properties of being easily oxidized and highly volatile, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) and at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture ingress and evaporation.
