Quality Control

Our Chloroenhydrin is manufactured under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile and reactive nature, it should be kept under an inert atmosphere if specified and separated from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability.
