Quality Control

Our Suberic Anhydride is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, impurity profiling, and physical characterization, to ensure it meets the high standards required for industrial and research applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with each shipment and are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can lead to hydrolysis back to suberic acid.
