Quality Control

Our production of [2,4-Bis(1-Methylbutyl)Phenoxy]Acetic Acid Chloride adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets exacting customer specifications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent decomposition. Keep away from strong bases, oxidizers, and sources of ignition.
