Quality Control

Our 1,2-Di-tert-Butoxy-1,2-Difluoroethene is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopy (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are provided and available upon request, supporting compliance with internal specifications for research and development use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential concentration changes. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
