Quality Control

Our 4-Isocyanatobenzyl Cyanide 97 is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the declared specification of 97% minimum purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic) and reacts with strong bases; keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon to prevent degradation and polymerization. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
