Quality Control

Our (E)-2-Butenyl Acetate is produced and handled under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency meet the required specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing gas chromatography (GC) assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiles 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 open flame. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity. Recommended storage temperature is 2-25°C.
