Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Chlorotetrafluoropropanoyl Chloride is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the product meets the precise requirements for advanced synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is supplied with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and reacts vigorously with water, strong bases, and alcohols. Keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to maintain purity and prevent decomposition.
