Quality Control

Our 1,3-Dichlorohexane is manufactured under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for assay and impurity profiling. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. Our quality commitment supports applications requiring reliable and traceable raw materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong bases and alkali metals. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and volatilization.
