Quality Control

Our 2,2-Dichloropropanal is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. Our quality commitment supports applications requiring high-purity intermediates.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile, we recommend storage under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen and at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C for extended stability. Keep away from strong bases and reducing agents.
