Quality Control

Our 1-[2-[2-(tert-Butoxy)Ethoxy]Ethoxy]Butane is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment. We support compliance with REACH and other global regulatory frameworks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, 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 evaporation and moisture ingress. Recommended storage temperature: 2-25°C.
