Quality Control

Our N2-Methyl-Propane-1,2-Diamine is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by GC or titration and impurity profile analysis, to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for sensitive synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific tests are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product quality. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizing agents.
