Quality Control

Our 1,2,2,3-Tetrachlorobutane is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay (GC/HPLC), identity confirmation (IR, NMR), and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

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 bases and alkali metals. 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.
