Quality Control

Our 1,1-Difluoro-2-Iodoethylene is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We are committed to supplying material that meets the stringent requirements of research and process development applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile nature, containers should be kept tightly sealed and under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) when not in use to prevent degradation and maintain purity. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
