Quality Control

Our 2,2-Dibromohexafluoropropane is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure high chemical purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee it meets your specific research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong bases and reactive metals. The container should be kept upright and securely sealed when not in use to prevent moisture ingress and volatilization.
