Quality Control

Our Trifluoropropene is produced and handled under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. We employ advanced analytical techniques, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and GC-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), to verify identity, purity, and impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, moisture content, and specific impurity limits is provided with each shipment. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles where applicable, supporting its use in regulated synthesis pathways.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, sparks, and open flame. Due to its high volatility and gaseous state under standard conditions, cylinders must be secured upright and used in areas with adequate ventilation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and incompatible materials. Recommended long-term storage temperature is between 2°C and 25°C.
