Quality Control

Every batch of Isocyanic Acid, 5-(Chloroformyl)-o-Tolyl Ester (6Ci) is manufactured and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure consistency and reliability for your synthetic processes. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as purity, identity, and impurity profiles. Our quality systems are designed to support cGMP and ISO standards for advanced chemical intermediates.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent hydrolysis and degradation. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
