Quality Control

Our Hydroperoxydiethyl Peroxide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, purity verification, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise customer and industry specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are provided with every shipment.

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 easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong reducing agents, acids, bases, and metals. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C.
