Quality Control

We maintain stringent quality control protocols for 1,3-Difluoropropene to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for your synthetic processes. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) and NMR, to verify identity, purity, and impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed, appropriately rated pressure cylinder, protected from light and stored in a cool, well-ventilated area. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature, cylinders must be secured upright and kept away from heat sources, sparks, and open flame. Store at room temperature (15-25°C) in a dry environment. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and handling procedures for pressurized gases.
