Quality Control

Our 1,5-Dichloro-3-pentanone is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopy (IR, NMR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters 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, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent and highly volatile compound, keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Ensure containers are kept tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and moisture ingress.
