Quality Control

Our Tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and oxidizing agents. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and moisture ingress.
