Quality Control

Our 1,1-Dichlorotetrafluoroethane is produced and handled under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and identity verification. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with agreed specifications.

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 nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use to prevent loss and maintain purity. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C.
