Quality Control

Our Benzene, 2-Isocyano-1,3-Bis(1-Methylethyl)- is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to the light-sensitive nature of the isocyano group, prolonged exposure to light should be avoided. Keep container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere if specified for long-term storage.
