Quality Control

Our 2,3,4,5,5,5-Hexafluoro-2,4-Bis(Trifluoromethyl)-1-Pentanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, NMR, and Karl Fischer titration, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and highly volatile nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and product loss. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
