Quality Control

Our Tetrafluoro-1-Propanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and concentration changes. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability.
