Quality Control

Our Dimethyl Peroxide is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay and purity verification. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical 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 reactive nature, it should be kept segregated from reducing agents, strong acids, bases, and combustible materials. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (refrigerated) to maintain stability. Handle and store only in approved, non-reactive containers.
