Quality Control

Our Tetrapropane is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to meet exacting customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and minimize moisture uptake.
