Quality Control

Our Chlorotrifluoropropane is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), to ensure high purity and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing all critical specifications. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles for pharmaceutical intermediates and meets the stringent requirements of industrial chemical applications.

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 product integrity. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F).
