Recommended Applications: Polymerization of ethylene : PEROXAN EPC-65 is used for high pressure in both autoclave and tubular processes, usually in combination with other peroxides of varying degrees of activity. Temperature range: 130 to 180°C Light-off temperature at 2300 bar: 142°C

Polymerization of vinylchloride: PEROXAN EPC-65 may be used in polymerization and copolymerization of vinylchloride. Temperature range: 40 to 65°C Dosing: 0,02 to 0,1 phr

Polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates: PEROXAN EPC-65 can be used as initiator for the solution, bulk and suspension (co)polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates. Temperature range: 40 to 80°C Dosing: 0,04 to 0,1 phr

Other applications: PEROXAN EPC-65 may also be used for the (co)polymerization of vinylidenechloride.

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 EPC-65.
