Quality Control

Our 1,5-Diaminopentane is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) for every batch, detailing key parameters such as assay, color, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment aligns with industrial and fine chemical standards, and we can support requirements for specific grades upon request.

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 after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture and carbon dioxide. Keep away from strong acids, oxidizing agents, and heat sources.
