Quality Control

Our Diisobutylaluminum Fluoride is manufactured under stringent process controls to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay and impurity profiling, to meet exacting customer specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and safety data is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and pyrophoric nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from heat, ignition sources, and incompatible materials such as water, acids, and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability.
