Quality Control

Our 1,1,2,3,3,3-Hexafluoropropyl Trichloromethyl Ether is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided and can be tailored to meet specific customer or regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and reactive metals. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed and at a consistent temperature, ideally between 15-25°C. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
