Quality Control

Our 1,1,2,2,5,5,6,6-Octafluoro-3-Hexene is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC and NMR analysis, to ensure high purity and consistent composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research and production specifications.

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 to minimize volatility and maintain stability.
