Quality Control

Our 1,1-Dibutoxypropane is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and Karl Fischer titration, to verify identity, purity, and moisture content. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. The container should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and maintain product integrity.
