Quality Control

Our 2,3-Dichloropropionic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive analytical documentation, including Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed results from advanced techniques like HPLC, GC, and NMR. Our quality commitment ensures the product meets the stringent requirements for use in regulated synthesis applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent, containers must be kept tightly sealed and constructed of compatible materials (e.g., glass, HDPE, or fluorinated polymers). Recommended storage temperature is 2-25°C.
