Quality Control

Our 2,2'-((1-Methylethylidene)Bis(Cyclohexane-4,1-Diyloxymethylene))Bisoxirane is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, epoxide equivalent weight (EEW) determination, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, viscosity, and color are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider maintaining under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to preserve epoxide functionality and prevent viscosity increase. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizing agents.
