Quality Control

Our 1,2,4-Trichloro-1,1,2-trifluorobutane is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopic methods, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided and can be tailored to meet specific customer or regulatory requirements.

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 reactive metals. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and volatilization.
