Quality Control

Our 1,3,4-Tribromo-1,1,2,2-Tetrafluorobutane is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and reducing agents. Due to its properties as a strong acid/organic solvent and high volatility, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed and stored at controlled room temperature (15-25°C).
