Quality Control

Our 2,2,6,6-Tetrachlorocyclohexanol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistent identity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support custom synthesis and can tailor purity grades to meet specific R&D or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
