Quality Control

Our α-Hydroxy Heptafluoronaphthalene is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment. We support compliance with relevant regulatory frameworks, including REACH and TSCA, and can provide documentation upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
