Quality Control

Our 3-Fluoropentane is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical quality parameters are provided with every shipment.

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 when not in use to prevent evaporation and concentration of vapors. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (refrigerated) for long-term stability, though short-term storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) is acceptable.
