• Recommended storage temperature: below 30°C.
• Stability (activity) from the date of delivery: 6 months.
• The product complies with ElektroG standards (EU directives: RoHS 2002/95/EG, WEEE 2002/96/EG).

appliance::

• Polymerization initiator for styrene.
• Temperature range: 100-140°C.
• Supply use level: 0.02-0.1% (as is).
• Special advantages: reduced residual monomer content, no reaction with chain modifiers (e.g. mercaptan), no hydrolysis in alkaline media.
• It is recommended that it be used in combination with more active peroxides such as tert-Butylperoxy 2-ethylhexanoate.

decomposition product::

• Possible detectable breakdown products: acetone, tert-butanol, hexanone.

Standard Packaging::

• 25 kg HDPE plastic drums.
