Quality Control

Our 2,6-Di-tert-Butyl-4-Methyl-4-tert-Butylperoxy-2,5-Cyclohexadienone undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Production is monitored using advanced analytical techniques to guarantee high purity and consistent reactivity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its peroxide nature and sensitivity, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to minimize decomposition. Keep away from strong reducing agents, acids, and bases. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
