Quality Control

Our 2,6-Diethylphenyl Isocyanate is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including GC, HPLC, and NMR to verify identity and assay. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, moisture content, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation from moisture ingress. Keep away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials such as alcohols, amines, and strong bases.
