Quality Control

Our Diisobutylmethoxyaluminium is manufactured under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We adhere to relevant industry standards and can provide material tailored to specific application requirements. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is available for every batch upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its pyrophoric and moisture-sensitive nature, this material must be stored and handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat, ignition sources, and incompatible materials such as oxidizers, acids, and water. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
