Quality Control

Our 2-Butynyl Acetate is produced under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We employ advanced analytical techniques including GC, HPLC, and NMR to verify identity and assay. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

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 nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and concentration of vapors. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (refrigerated) for extended stability, though short-term storage at 15-25°C is acceptable. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and bases.
