Quality Control

Our n-(3-Aminopropyl)-ε-Caprolactam is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, impurity profiling, and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications and consistent high purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product quality. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
