Quality Control

Our Perfluoro-C8-14-Alk-1-Eny is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and NMR, to ensure consistent composition, purity, and the absence of critical impurities. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing the specific chain-length distribution and key specifications are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong alkalis and reactive metals. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are securely sealed when not in use. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C (36-46°F) to maintain optimal stability.
