Quality Control

Our 5,5-Dimethylnorborna-2-Ene is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC and NMR analysis, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature of being easily oxidized, prolonged exposure to air should be avoided. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
