Quality Control

Our sec-Butylbenzene is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for assay and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and ignition points. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
