Quality Control

Our 1,4-Bis(Aminomethyl)Benzene is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for industrial and pharmaceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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.
