FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Does Benzoyl Peroxide CAS 94-36-0 identify a neat or desensitized grade?
A: The CAS identifies benzoyl peroxide, but commercial material is commonly supplied desensitized or wetted, with a stated active-peroxide percentage. The quotation must state active content, water or diluent, formulation and transport classification; a neat-peroxide assumption is unsafe. -
Q:
Which specifications should be agreed for industrial BPO?
A: Set active benzoyl peroxide assay, active oxygen, water or desensitizer, free benzoic acid, particle form, color and decomposition or stability indicators. Specify the calculation and test methods because a 50%, 75% or another commercial formulation cannot be compared by price per kilogram alone.
