Quality Control

Our Bis(Hydroxymethyl) Dinitrate is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, purity verification, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile and strong oxidizing nature, it must be segregated from incompatible materials such as reducing agents, strong acids, and organic solvents. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (cold chain) to maintain stability. Handle and store only in approved, non-reactive containers.
