Chemical Structure

Caprylyl Peroxide CAS 762-16-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Caprylyl Peroxide (CAS 762-16-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H30O4, MW 286.41 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Caprylyl Peroxide is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 286.41 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Caprylyl Peroxide meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
