Quality Control

Our Dicyclohexyl Peroxide is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay and impurity profiling, to meet exacting industry standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and safety parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C to maintain stability and prevent decomposition. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, reducing agents, and heavy metal compounds.
