Quality Control

Our Diethoxyaluminum Chloride is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through a suite of analytical techniques including titration, gas chromatography (GC), and infrared spectroscopy (IR). A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, this material is best handled and stored under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials like strong acids, strong bases, and fluorides.
