Quality Control

Our Peroxydecanoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, stability, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your processes.

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 reducing agents, heavy metals, and bases.
