Quality Control

Every batch of 3,4,4,4-Tetrafluoro-3-(Heptafluoropropoxy)Butyral is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure compliance with relevant industry standards through rigorous analytical protocols, including GC, HPLC, and NMR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and meet the stringent requirements of our global B2B clients.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and moisture ingress.
