Quality Control

Our 2,6-Dichlorophenyl Isocyanate is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by HPLC and impurity profiling, to ensure high purity and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment, guaranteeing traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
