Quality Control

Every batch of 2,5-Dimethyl-1,4-Hexadiene is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure compliance with relevant industry standards and provide comprehensive analytical data. A Certificate of Analysis (COA), detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles as determined by GC, GC-MS, and NMR, is available for each shipment to guarantee traceability and product integrity for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to maintain purity and prevent peroxide formation. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
