Quality Assurance and Safety
Quality is paramount in our production facility. Each batch of 5-Norbornene-2-Carbonitrile undergoes comprehensive analysis using gas chromatography and Karl Fischer titration to verify purity and water content. The test results consistently demonstrate low impurity levels, such as dicyclopentadiene content below 1.0%, ensuring reliable performance in sensitive reactions.
Regarding safety, this product should be handled with care. It is stable under normal temperatures and pressures but must be kept away from heat, sparks, and open flames due to its flash point. We recommend storage in a tightly closed container within a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, segregated from incompatible substances. Proper personal protective equipment should be worn during handling to ensure workplace safety.
