Quality Control

Our production of 1,2-Bis-(2-Isocyanoethoxy)-Ethane adheres to stringent internal quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques like HPLC, GC, and FTIR to confirm identity and assay. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, moisture content, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 and moisture-sensitive nature, the container must be kept sealed under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials such as alcohols, amines, and strong bases.
