Polymerization of ethylene : PEROXAN OPN-70 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 170°C Light-off temperature at 2300 bar: 135°C
Polymerization of vinylchloride: PEROXAN OPN-70 may be used in polymerization and copolymerization of vinylchloride. Temperature range: 40 to 65°C Dosing: 0,04 to 0,1 phr
Other applications: PEROXAN OPN-70 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 OPN-70.
