Quality Control

Our 4-(Dichloromethyl)Benzoyl Chloride 95 is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets the specified purity and impurity profile. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity limits is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong bases, alcohols, and amines. Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent hydrolysis. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C for long-term stability.
