Quality Control

Our 1,1-Dichloro-1-Fluoro-4-Methyl-Pentan-2-One is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopy (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment. We support custom synthesis and can tailor purity grades to meet specific project requirements, from research (95%+) to process development (98%+) grades.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, containers should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Keep away from strong bases and reducing agents.
