Quality Control

Our 3,4,6-Trichlorobenzene-1,2-Dithiol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC and GC analysis, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment. We adhere to relevant industry standards, and custom purity grades are available to meet specific project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
