Quality Control

Our Ethylene Glycol Diethyl Ether is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your technical requirements.

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 highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
