Quality Control

Our 1,2-Butadiene is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We employ advanced analytical techniques, including gas chromatography (GC), to verify identity and composition. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity confirmation, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Cylinders must be secured upright. Contents are under pressure. Store away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
