Quality Control

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

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent and high volatility, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed and upright to prevent leakage and vapor release. Recommended storage temperature is 2-25°C.
