Quality Control

Our Tributyltin Hydroxide is manufactured under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by titration and identification by FT-IR, to verify its chemical identity and purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized and should be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage. Keep away from strong acids and oxidizing agents.
