Quality Control

Our 2-Decene is manufactured under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. The product undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for assay and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
