Quality Control

Our Ethylene Glycol Butyl Vinyl Ether is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and identity verification, to ensure it meets precise specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee consistent quality and traceability for your production processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
