Quality Control

Our 4-Butoxy-1-Butene is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure high purity and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and moisture ingress. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C.
