Quality Control

Our n-2-Butyl-N'-Isopropyl Ethylenediamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by GC or HPLC and identification by FTIR, to ensure it meets precise specifications and high-purity standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption and degradation.
