Quality Control

Our 2,6-Dichlorobenzyl Chloride is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay (HPLC), identity confirmation (IR, NMR), and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical characteristics, and test results 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 area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong bases and oxidizing agents.
