Quality Control

Our Ketone, Chloromethyl 2-Methylcyclohexyl (7Ci) is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided and can be tailored to meet specific customer or regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong bases, oxidizing agents, and sources of ignition. Due to the reactive chloromethyl group, it is recommended to handle and store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability.
