Quality Control

Our 5-Chloro-1,1,1-Trifluoro-3-Oxapentane 97 is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and Karl Fischer titration, to ensure it meets the 97% minimum purity specification and is free from critical impurities. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed 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 such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain purity. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
