Quality Control

Our 2-Benzylphenyl Isocyanate 97 is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC and GC analysis, to ensure a minimum purity of 97% and compliance with stringent impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and safety parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency for your critical applications.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; containers must be kept tightly sealed under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening to prevent degradation and polymerization.
