Quality Control

Our Isopropyl Hydroperoxide is manufactured under strict 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 to verify key parameters such as assay and peroxide content. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance 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 (36-46°F) to maintain stability. Containers should be kept upright and clearly labeled.
