Quality Control

Our Dichlorobenzoylperoxide is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. The product is tested against rigorous internal specifications, which typically include assay, impurity profile, and moisture content. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its nature as a strong oxidizer, it must be segregated from reducing agents, combustible materials, and acids. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent contamination and degradation.
