Quality Control

Our N,N'-Dinitro-N,N'-Dimethylurea is manufactured under strict process controls to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through a comprehensive suite of analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and titration. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available for every batch upon request, supporting your quality assurance protocols.

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 properties as a strong oxidizer, it must be segregated from reducing agents, flammable materials, and organic substances. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
