Quality Control

Our 1,1,1,4,4,4-Hexafluoro-2-Butene is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, GC-MS, NMR, and Karl Fischer titration, to ensure it meets the required purity and impurity profile specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment. We can support compliance with REACH, TSCA, and other relevant global regulatory frameworks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong alkalis. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are properly sealed and handled in accordance with local regulations for volatile organic compounds. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
