Quality Control

Our Ethyl 2-(Bromomethyl)Acrylate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by GC/HPLC, identity confirmation (IR, NMR), and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for sensitive synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Due to its light-sensitive and reactive nature, prolonged exposure to light or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain product integrity.
