Quality Control

Our Cyclohexyl Hydroperoxide is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) for each lot, detailing key parameters such as assay, peroxide content, and impurity profiles. Our quality management system adheres to ISO 9001 standards, and we support compliance with global regulatory frameworks including REACH.

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 as a strong oxidizer and highly volatile compound, it must be segregated from reducing agents, strong acids, and organic solvents. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (36-46°F) to maintain stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and decomposition.
