Due to its high volatility, PEROXAN DB-50 requires precautions in handling and metering.
Polymerization of ethylene : PEROXAN DB-50 is used for high pressure in both autoclave and tubular processes, usually in combination with other peroxides of varying degrees of activity. Temperature range: 240 to 280°C Light-off temperature at 2300 bar: 265°C

- 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 DB-50.
