Quality Control

Our 3,5-Dichloro Benzyl Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC/HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for use in sensitive applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong acids and incompatible materials.
