Quality Control

Our 2,4-Diaminotoluene is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, impurity profile, and physical property verification, to ensure it meets exacting specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and key parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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 light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, acids, and moisture.
