Quality Control

Our 2-[(1,1-Dimethylethyl)Dioxy]Ethanol is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and peroxide content. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your internal standards.

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 as an organic peroxide derivative and being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) when in partially used containers. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, reducing agents, and heavy metal compounds. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to maintain stability.
