Quality Control

Our 1,4-Hexadiene is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including purity assay and impurity profiling by GC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for industrial and research applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizers. Due to its highly volatile nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed and under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) when not in use to prevent evaporation and degradation. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C.
