Quality Control

Our 3,3,4,4-Tetrafluorohexane is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity. Recommended storage temperature is between 2°C and 25°C.
