Quality Control

Our 2,3-Dibromo-1,1,1,3,3-Pentafluoropropane is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for synthetic applications. Key parameters including identity, assay, and impurity profiles are verified. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical processes.

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. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (36-46°F) for extended stability, though short-term storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) is acceptable.
