Quality Control

Our 1-Isopropyl-1-Cyclohexene is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC and NMR analysis, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and ignition points. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability, though short-term storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) is acceptable.
