Quality Control

Our Pentadecafluorooctanoyl Chloride is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by GC or titration and impurity profiling, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific test results is provided with every 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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and reacts vigorously with water, alcohols, and bases. Keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation from moisture. Store away from strong oxidizers and incompatible materials.
