Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Each batch of 1-Isocyanato-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and consistency. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, and IR spectroscopy. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as alcohols, amines, and strong bases.
