Quality Control

Every batch of 1,4,7,7,8,8-Hexafluoro-2,3-Dimethylbicyclo[2.2.2]Octa-2,5-Diene is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency meet the high standards required for advanced synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all relevant specifications is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential concentration changes. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Incompatible with strong bases and fluorides.
