Quality Control

Our 4-Chloro-3-Ethoxy-2-Fluorobenzoyl Chloride, 97% is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assay and GC for solvent residue, to ensure it meets the specified 97% minimum purity and consistent impurity profile. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all test results. Our quality system is designed to support cGMP-compliant applications, ensuring reliability for critical pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature and reactivity as an acid chloride, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent hydrolysis. Keep away from strong bases, oxidizing agents, and alcohols.
