Quality Control

Our 1,1-Dimethylhexyl Hydroperoxide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, active oxygen content, and stability. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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 and highly volatile, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere and keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Maintain storage temperature between 15°C and 25°C. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, reducing agents, and heavy metal compounds.
