Quality Control

Our Perfluoroalkyl Alcohol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR analysis, to ensure consistent purity, chain length distribution, and the absence of critical impurities. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, identity, and specific impurities are provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong alkalis and fluorinating agents. The container must be kept tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.
