Quality Control

Our Methyl(Ethyl) Peroxide is manufactured under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. The product is analyzed using advanced techniques including Gas Chromatography (GC) and titration methods. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles 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, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile and strong oxidizing nature, it must be kept separate from reducing agents, combustible materials, and acids. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (36-46°F) to maintain stability. Handle and store under an inert atmosphere if specified.
