Quality Control

Our n-Methylbutane-1,4-Diamine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, impurity profiling, and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and test results is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture and carbon dioxide. Keep away from strong acids and oxidizing agents.
