Quality Control

Our Ethyl trans-3-Ethoxyacrylate, 98 is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the specified 98% minimum purity and consistent performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your internal quality standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. 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 2-8°C for long-term stability.
