Quality Control

Our Diethyldicyclopentadiene is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized and should be handled and stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
