Quality Control

Our 1-Chloro-1,2-Difluoroethane is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC), to ensure high purity and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

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 gaseous nature under standard conditions, containers must be kept sealed and handled in accordance with appropriate safety protocols for pressurized gases/liquefied gases. Recommended storage temperature is 2-25°C.
