Quality Control

Our iso-Propylcyclopentadiene is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specific research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and light-sensitive nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated place, ideally at 2-8°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent oxidation and polymerization. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
