Quality Control

Our Octachloro-2-Phenoxyphenol is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, impurity profiling, and identity confirmation. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, the container should be opaque or stored in darkness to maintain product integrity.
