Quality Control

Our 1,2,4-Butanetriol-1,4-Dinitrate is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by HPLC, identification by FT-IR, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical characteristics, and test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Due to its sensitivity to light and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to store this material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials.
