Quality Control

Our Aluminium(II) Chloridefluoride is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is assured through rigorous analytical testing, including assay by titration and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, chloride content, fluoride content, and moisture is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed and under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen after opening to prevent decomposition. Isolate from incompatible materials such as strong bases and other fluorides.
