Polymerization of ethylene : PEROXAN PO is used for high pressure in both autoclave and tubular processes, usually in combination with other peroxides of varying degrees of activity. Temperature range: 180 to 230°C Light-off temperature at 2300 bar: 188°C
Polymerization of styrene: PEROXAN PO may be used in polymerization and copolymarization of styrene. Temperature range: 80 to 110°C Dosing: 0,08 to 0,4 phr
Polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates: PEROXAN PO can be used as initiator for the solution, bulk and suspension (co)polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates. Temperature range (solution polym.): 80 to 150°C Dosing: 0,1 to 1 phr
Other applications: PEROXAN PO may also be used for the (co)polymerization of acrylonitrile.

- Product Handling and Storage
- Maximum storage temperature (Ts max) : 15°C
- Storage stability as from date of delivery : 3 months
- Keep packaging tightly closed in a well ventilated place at indicated storage temperature. Keep away from reducing agents e.g. amines, acids, alkalis, heavy metal compounds (e.g. accelerators, driers, metal soaps). Never weigh out in storage room. Oxidizing agent. Decomposes violently under the influence of heat or by contact with reducing agent. Never mix with accelerators. 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 PO.
