Quality Control

Our 2-Cyclohexyl-1-Chloroethene is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and concentration changes. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability, though short-term storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) is acceptable.
