Quality Control

Our 1,2-Dichloro-3,4-dinitrobenzene is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurity profile, and physical characteristics is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its light-sensitive nature and classification as a strong oxidizer, it must be segregated from reducing agents, organic materials, and other combustible substances. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
