Quality Control

Our 2-Butoxytetrahydrofuran, 99 is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC and NMR analysis, to ensure it meets the specified 99% minimum purity and is free from critical impurities. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and moisture pickup.
