Quality Control

Our 1,1,4,4-Tetramethyltetramethylene Peroxynonanoate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis to ensure it meets precise specifications for active oxygen content, purity, and stability. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are provided to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and compliance with industry standards for polymer initiators.

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 at temperatures not exceeding 25°C (77°F) and separate from incompatible materials such as strong acids, reducing agents, and bases. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.
