Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Chloro-1,1,1,4,4,4-Hexafluoro-2-Butene is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure compliance with relevant industry standards and customer-specific requirements. Comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, GC-MS, NMR, and FTIR, is performed to verify identity, purity, and impurity profiles. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and product integrity.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep container tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to maximize stability. Keep away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
