Recommended Applications

Polymerization of vinylchloride: PEROXAN NPO-50 WN-A may be used in the suspension polymerization of vinylchloride. Reasons to use a water based peroxide emulsion instead of a solvent based peroxide are the following: - Enhanced safety - Easy to use (pumpable) in \closed reactor technology\" - Easy to dilute with water Temperature range: 50 to 70°C Dosing: 0,2 to 0,6 phr

Product Handling and Storage
  • Maximum storage temperature (Ts max) : 0°C
  • Minimum storage temperature (Ts min) : -20°C
  • Storage stability as from date of delivery : 3 months
  • 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-50 WN-A.
