Quality Control

Our production of n-C3H7Ch(Ch3)Ooh adheres to stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Each lot is analyzed for critical parameters including active oxygen content, purity, and stability. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting full specifications are provided with every shipment. Our quality system is designed to support applications requiring high-purity peroxide initiators.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. 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 shelf life. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, reducing agents, and heavy metal compounds.
