Quality Control

Our N,n-Diethyl-1,4-Phenylenediamine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available for every shipment upon request, providing full traceability and compliance assurance for your processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its properties of being light-sensitive and easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
