Quality Control

Our 1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoropropane is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity and impurity profiles, which are critical for performance in sensitive applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity limits (e.g., by GC) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and open flame. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use to prevent loss and maintain purity. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C.
