Quality Control

Our (Nonafluoro-n-Butyl)Epoxide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to prevent hydrolysis of the epoxide ring. Keep away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
