Quality Control

Our [1,1'-Biphenyl]-2,2',4,4',6,6'-Hexacarboxylic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets exacting customer specifications and consistent batch-to-batch reliability. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting all critical quality parameters.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
