Quality Control

Our 1,4-Diethoxy-2-Butene is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support cGMP and ISO 9001 standards for industrial and research-grade materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
