Quality Control

Our Methallyl Sulfide is produced and controlled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all relevant specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, consider using under an inert atmosphere to maintain product integrity.
