Quality Control

Our Trichloro-4-Tetrabutyltoluol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by GC/HPLC and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and other critical parameters are provided with every shipment and are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption and volatilization.
