Quality Control

Our 4,6-Decadiene is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC analysis for purity and isomer composition, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, well-ventilated area. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to maximize stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
