Quality Control

Our 2-Ethyl-6-Isopropylphenyl Isocyanate is manufactured under stringent process controls to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Every lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical quality parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent degradation from moisture ingress.
