Quality Control

Every batch of (E)-1,1,4-Trichloro-2-Butene is produced and tested under a strict quality management system to ensure consistency and reliability for industrial applications. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to meet exacting customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed batch-specific data are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its properties as a strong acid/organic solvent and highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and moisture ingress. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
