Quality Control

Our Acryloyl Chloride is produced and tested under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) for every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles where applicable, supporting its use in regulated synthesis pathways.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) to minimize degradation and polymerization. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent and highly volatile compound, it must be kept away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as bases, oxidizing agents, and amines. Use under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for extended storage to maintain stability.
