Quality Control

Our 2-Ethylazo-2-Propylhydroperoxide is manufactured under stringent 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 available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 acids, reducing agents, and heavy metal compounds. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C (refrigerated).
