Quality Control

Our 1,2,2-Trifluoroethyl Trifluoromethyl Ether is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and Karl Fischer titration, to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for sensitive synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

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