Quality Control

Our 2-Chloro-1,1,1,3-Tetrafluoropropane is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and identity verification, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

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 highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use to prevent loss and maintain purity. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
