Recommended Applications

Polymerization of ethylene : PEROXAN PND 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 190°C Light-off temperature at 2300 bar: 147°C

Polymerization of vinylchloride: PEROXAN PND may be used in polymerization and copolymerization of vinylchloride. Temperature range: 50 to 65°C Dosing: 0,05 to 0,15 phr

Polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates: PEROXAN PND can be used as initiator for the solution, bulk and suspension (co)polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates. Temperature range: 50 to 80°C Dosing: 0,04 to 0,1 phr

Other applications: PEROXAN PND may also be used for the (co)polymerization of vinylidenechloride.

Product Handling and Storage
  • Maximum storage temperature (Ts max) : -10°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 PND.
