Quality Control

Our Diethyl Peroxide is manufactured under stringent process controls to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. The product undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay and impurity profiling, to meet precise customer specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and safety parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your quality requirements.

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 highly volatile and strong oxidizing nature, it must be segregated from reducing agents, acids, bases, and combustible materials. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (35-46°F) to maintain stability. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete handling and storage instructions.
