Quality Control

Our 3-(Perfluoro-3-Methylbutyl)-2-Hydroxypropyl Acrylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by GC/HPLC, purity verification, and control of critical impurities like residual monomers and inhibitors. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting full specifications are available upon request to ensure compliance with your formulation requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (or as specified on the label) to maximize shelf life. This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, maintaining an inert atmosphere (e.g., under nitrogen) is recommended. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
