Quality Control

Our Dicyclopentenyl Acrylate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, purity, and impurity profile analysis, to ensure it meets exacting specifications for high-performance applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F) under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent oxidation and polymerization. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. For long-term storage, monitor inhibitor levels as recommended.
