Quality Control

Our 2,3,3,4,4,4-Hexafluorobut-1-Ene is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, GC-MS, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided and can be tailored to meet specific customer or regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated area, preferably at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C to minimize pressure build-up and evaporation loss. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Containers should be kept upright and securely sealed when not in use.
