Quality Control

Our 1-Butoxypentane is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed against rigorous internal specifications, which typically include identity confirmation, purity assay, and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee 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 ignition points. 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.
