Quality Control

Our (Z)-1,2,3-Trichloro-2-Butene is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, isomeric purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent and high volatility, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed and stored upright to prevent leakage. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability.
