Polymerization of ethylene : PEROXAN NPO is used for high pressure in both autoclave and tubular processes, usually in combination with other peroxides of varying degrees of activity. Temperature range: 150 to 190°C Light-off temperature at 2300 bar: 165°C
Polymerization of vinylchloride: PEROXAN NPO may be used in the suspension polymerization of vinylchloride. Temperature range: 50 to 70°C Dosing: 0,1 to 0,3 phr
Polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates: PEROXAN NPO can be used as initiator for the solution, bulk and suspension (co)polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates. Temperature range: 50 to 70°C Dosing: 0,1 to 0,3 phr
Other applications: PEROXAN NPO may also be used for the (co)polymerization of vinylidenchloride.

- 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 NPO.
