Quality Control

Every batch of 2,6-Dichlorophenethyl Isocyanate is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system to ensure consistency and reliability for your processes. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request, providing full transparency on batch-specific results.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
