Quality Control

Our 1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoropropane-2,2-Diol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and Karl Fischer titration, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed and under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to prevent degradation.
