Quality Control

Our 2,2-Dimethyl-2,3-Dihydro-1-Benzofuran-7-Yl Isocyanate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation by atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
