Quality Control

Our Bis(2,3-Epoxypropyl) Bicyclo[2.2.1]Hept-5-Ene-2,3-Dicarboxylate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistency and compliance with agreed specifications. We provide full traceability and support our products with a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) available for each shipment, confirming parameters such as purity, epoxy equivalent weight, and viscosity.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Due to its epoxy functionality and sensitivity, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability and to minimize moisture uptake.
