Quality Control

Our Trichloroethylene is manufactured and tested under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, stability, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, water content, acidity, and non-volatile residue are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Store away from incompatible materials such as strong alkalis and reactive metals.
