Quality Control

Our Methyl 2,6-Diisocyanatohexanoate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, purity, and isocyanate content determination, to ensure it meets precise specifications for industrial applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation and polymerization from moisture ingress. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
