Quality Control

Our 1,4-Bis(Glycidyloxy)Benzene is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, epoxide equivalent weight (EEW) determination, and impurity profiling via HPLC and GC, to ensure it meets precise specifications for advanced polymer applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect reactivity and purity.
