Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Chloro-1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoropropane is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the product meets the precise requirements of your synthesis and process. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is supplied with each shipment, confirming identity, purity, and impurity profiles as determined by GC, GC-MS, NMR, and other relevant analytical techniques.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, open flames, and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain purity. Recommended storage temperature is 2-25°C.
