Quality Control

Our 1-[(1,1-Dimethylpropyl)Azo]Cyclohexanecarbonitrile is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for polymerization applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be kept in the original packaging or opaque storage until use.
