Polymerization of styrene: PEROXAN BIC may be used in polymerization and copolymarization of styrene. In a mass process PEROXAN BIC can be used to increase polymerization rates.In suspension polymerization processes, PEROXAN BIC is often used for reduction of residual styrene content during the final polymerization stage. PEROXAN BIC is a benzene-free replacement of tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate (PEROXAN PB). Temperature range: 95 to 125°C Dosing: 0,02 to 0,1 phr
Polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates: PEROXAN BIC can be used as initiator for the solution, bulk and suspension (co)polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates. Temperature range (solution polym.): 100 to 170°C Dosing: 0,1 to 1 phr

- Product Handling and Storage
- Maximum storage temperature (Ts max) : 25°C
- Minimum storage temperature (Ts min) : 0°C
- Storage stability as from date of delivery : 6 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.
