Quality Control

Every batch of our 3-(Perfluoro-7-Methyloctyl)-2-Hydroxypropyl Methacrylate is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system. We ensure consistent high purity and performance through advanced analytical techniques, including NMR, HPLC, and GC. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Incompatible with strong bases and fluorides. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent potential polymerization or degradation.
