Due to its high volatility, PEROXAN DB requires precautions in handling and metering.
Polymerization of ethylene : PEROXAN DB 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
Polymerization of styrene: PEROXAN DB may be used in polymerization and copolymarization of styrene. In a mass process PEROXAN DB can be used to increase polymerization rates. Temperature range: 95 to 185°C Dosing: 0,02 to 0,1 phr
Polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates: PEROXAN DB can be used as initiator for the solution, bulk and suspension (co)polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates. Temperature range (solution polym.): 130 to 175°C Dosing: 0,05 to 0,1 phr
Controlled rheology polypropylene (CR-PP) in an extrusion process: PEROXAN DB allows great flexibility in controlling the melt flow index (MFI) of polypropylene. Small changes in either peroxide concentration or process temperature can produce significantly different MFIs. The MFI increases with the peroxide level. Temperature range: 200 to 220°C Dosing: 0,01 to 0,1 phr

- Product Handling and Storage
- Maximum storage temperature (Ts max) : 30°C
- Storage stability as from date of delivery : 6 months
- Keep packaging tightly closed in a well ventilated place at indicated storage temperature. Keep away from reducing agents e.g. amines, acids, alkalis, heavy metal compounds (e.g. accelerators, driers, metal soaps). Never weigh out in storage room. Oxidizing agent. Decomposes violently under the influence of heat or by contact with reducing agent. Never mix with accelerators. 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.
