Quality Control

Our 1,1-Dichloro-1-Fluoro-Pentan-2-Ol is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research and industrial synthesis. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. We support compliance with REACH and other global regulatory frameworks as required.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 2°C and 8°C for extended stability, although short-term storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) is acceptable. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture uptake and volatilization.
