Quality Control

Our 1-Bromo-1,1,2,3,3,3-Hexafluoropropane is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and moisture analysis, to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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/organic solvents and strong bases. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-25°C.
