Quality Control

Our 1,1,1,4,4,4-Hexafluorobutane is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and moisture analysis, to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for industrial and research applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use to prevent loss and maintain purity. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
