Product Handling and Storage
  • Maximum storage temperature (Ts max) : 15°C
  • Storage stability as from date of delivery : 3 months
  • Organic Peroxides are more or less stable products but will decompose under the influence of heat. To minimize a loss of quality during storage, it is important that the recommended maximum storage temperature is not exceeded. If a minimum storage temperature is given, an undesirable process such as a solidification or phase separation, is known to occur below this temperature.
  • Please refer to the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for information concerning safe storage, use and handling of PEROXAN C124.
