Quality Control

Our Propaneperoxoic Acid, Methyl Ester is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment and are available upon request.

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 and highly volatile, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) and at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from incompatible materials such as reducing agents, strong bases, and heavy metal salts.
