Quality Control

Our 1,3-Diisopropylurea is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, assay, and impurity profiling, to meet the stringent requirements of our industrial and research partners. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee full traceability and compliance with your specifications.

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 to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
