Quality Control

Our 3-(Ethoxycarbonyl)Phenyl Isocyanate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with your internal specifications and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) or as specified on the label. Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
