Quality Control

Our 1-tert-Butoxy-2-Methoxyethane, 99 is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC and NMR, to ensure it meets the specified 99% purity and impurity profile. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results 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, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. 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. Recommended storage temperature: 2-25°C.
