Quality Control

Our 3-Methylfuran-2-Isocyanate 97% is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance 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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as alcohols, amines, and strong bases.
