Quality Control

Our Butyl 2-Chloroacrylate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
