General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product MMPP is an alternative to widely used oxidant MCPBA as it is cheap, stable in the solid state, safer in handling and easier to use and thus aligns with the principle "Designing Safer Chemicals". For more information see the below articles.
