Quality Control

Our cis-1,4-Hexadiene is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided for each shipment, confirming compliance with customer requirements and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, the product should be kept at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) and handled with appropriate precautions to minimize exposure to air.
