FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Are Triethyl Orthoformate and Triethoxymethane the same substance?
A: Yes. Triethyl Orthoformate, Triethoxymethane and Ethyl Orthoformate can denote CAS 122-51-0, formula C₇H₁₆O₃. Confirm the complete name and CAS number because trimethyl orthoformate and other orthoesters are different materials with different molecular weights, boiling behavior and stoichiometric contribution. -
Q:
Which specifications should be set for Triethyl Orthoformate?
A: Define GC assay, water, ethanol, ethyl formate and other agreed process impurities, plus appearance, color, density or refractive index. Moisture sensitivity makes the sampling procedure and closure condition important. Review the offered lot COA against the agreed method, not only a headline assay value. -
Q:
What should be confirmed for industrial delivery of Triethyl Orthoformate?
A: Confirm quantity, drum or bulk format, compatible lining and seals, moisture-resistant closure, inert-gas condition if required, production date and storage history. The receiving process should also define its maximum water contribution and approve the flammable-liquid transport classification, current SDS and transfer arrangement before shipment.
