Quality Control

Our 1,4-Dichlorooctafluorobutane is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, IR, and NMR, to ensure it meets the highest standards of purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, assay, and impurity profiles are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and reactive metals. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use to prevent loss and maintain purity. Recommended storage temperature is 2-25°C.
