Quality Control

Our Alkanes, C4-6 is produced and handled under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure consistent composition, purity, and performance. Key parameters such as hydrocarbon distribution, boiling range, and non-volatile residue are verified. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain composition. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
