Quality Control

Our 1,1'-Azobis(Cyclobutanecarbonitrile) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistent performance as a polymerization initiator. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications for assay, purity, and residual solvents are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 an easily oxidized compound, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials.
