Quality Control

Our 2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl-2-Fluoroacrylate is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We employ advanced analytical techniques, including GC and NMR, to verify identity and quantify purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) to minimize polymerization risk and volatility. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Containers should be kept tightly sealed when not in use.
