Quality Control

Our Tetrafluoro-1-propyne is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, GC-MS, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated area, preferably at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Containers should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent loss of product and ingress of moisture.
