Quality Control

Our 2,2,4,4-Tetrachloro-3-Butenal is manufactured under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to verify identity and purity against established specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical quality attributes are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials.
