Quality Control

Our 1,1,1,3,3-Pentafluoropropane is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) and infrared spectroscopy (IR), to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your specific requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and ignition points. Due to its highly volatile nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed and upright to prevent leakage and pressure build-up. Recommended storage temperature is between 2°C and 25°C.
