Recommended Applications

Polymerization of ethylene : PEROXAN PPV is used for high pressure in both autoclave and tubular processes, usually in combination with other peroxides of varying degrees of activity. Temperature range: 150 to 200°C Light-off temperature at 2300 bar: 162°C

Polymerization of vinylchloride: PEROXAN PPV may be used in polymerization and copolymarization of vinylchloride. Temperature range: 50 to 65°C Dosing: 0,04 to 0,1 phr

Polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates: PEROXAN PPV 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 PPV may also be used for the (co)polymerization of vinylidenechloride.

Product Handling and Storage
  • Maximum storage temperature (Ts max) : -5°C
  • Minimum storage temperature (Ts min) : -15°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 PPV.
