Quality Control

Our Norbornyl Methacrylate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Infrared Spectroscopy (IR), to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, identity, and impurity profiles 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 temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere to prevent premature polymerization.
