Quality Control

Our 3,3,4,4-Tetrafluoro-2-Methyl-1-Butene is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC and NMR analysis, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, this material should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, well-ventilated area. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to minimize degradation and maintain stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
