Quality Control

Our 1,3-Difluorotetrachloroacetone is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements of our industrial and research partners. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee full traceability and compliance with your specifications.

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 15°C and 25°C. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed to prevent moisture ingress and volatilization.
