Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Submit NMR or HPLC certificates verifying identity as the exact bisphenol A dicyanate isomer listed

β€’ Declare any polymerization inhibitors separately to prevent mixture classification under chapter 38

β€’ Ensure packaging prevents premature curing, as heat/pressure could alter product state
