Quality Control

Our 4,6-Dichloro-5-Methyl-1,3-Benzenediol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements for use as a fine chemical intermediate. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to light and tendency for oxidation, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
