Quality Control

Our 1,2-Benzenediamine, 3-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)- is produced under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards and consistent performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its properties of being light-sensitive and easily oxidized, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials.
