Quality Control

Our 2,6-Dichloro-3-Nitrotoluene-4-Sulphonic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay (HPLC), identification (IR), and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical properties, and test results is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong bases and incompatible materials.
