Polymerization of styrene: PEROXAN PK295 V-90 may be used in bulk polymerization of styrene. Due to the bifunctionality of PEROXAN PK295 V-90 and the more constant reaction rate using this initiator, the resulting polymer has a higher molecular weight and shows reduced dispersity. Temperature range: 90 to 120°C Dosing: 0,02 to 0,08 phr
Polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates: PEROXAN PK295 V-90 can be used as initiator for the solution, bulk and Suspension (co)polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates. Temperature range: 90 to 120°C Dosing: 0,04 to 0,8 phr
Other applications: PEROXAN PK295 V-90 may also be used for the (co)polymerization of acrylonitrile.

- 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 PK295 V-90.
