Recommended Applications: Polymerization of vinylchloride: PEROXAN LP-40 W may be used in suspension polymerization of vinylchloride. Very often, PEROXAN LP-40 W is combined with a more active initiator such as a peroxydicarbonate to increase reactor efficiency. Reasons to use a water based peroxide suspension are the following: - Enhanced safety - Solvent free. No contamination of the VCM recycle stream - Enhancement of PVC purity - Easy to use (pumpable) in \closed reactor technology\" - Easy to dilute with water PEROXAN LP-40 W is especially suitable for the production of micro-S-PVC. Temperature range: 50 to 70°C Dosing: 0,2 to 0,8 phr

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 LP-40 W.
