Quality Control

Our 3,4-Dimethoxybenzyl Isocyanate is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive 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 detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, guaranteeing traceability and consistent quality.

Storage

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