Quality Control

Our Hex-2-Enylsuccinic Anhydride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by titration and impurity profile analysis by GC/HPLC, to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all critical quality attributes.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under a dry, inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening to prevent hydrolysis and maintain purity.
