Quality Control

Our 1,1-Dinitropropane is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identification, and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile and strong oxidizer nature, it must be segregated from reducing agents, combustible materials, and strong acids. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (36-46°F) to maintain stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and moisture ingress.
