Quality Control

Our 2-Benzoylbenzoyl Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

Storage

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