Quality Control

Our Dicyclopentadiene Diepoxide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets the highest standards for purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, epoxide content, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Keep away from strong bases and incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. The container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
