Quality Control

Our Tri-n-Hexyl Aluminum is manufactured under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. Each lot is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and concentration, typically supplied as a solution in hydrocarbon solvents like heptane or toluene for safety and handling. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay (by titration), solvent content, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This product is highly volatile, easily oxidized, and reacts violently with air and moisture. It must be stored and handled under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat, ignition sources, and incompatible materials such as strong acids, oxidizers, and protic solvents. Recommended storage temperature is typically between 2°C and 25°C, depending on the specific solvent and concentration.
