Applications
Tert-Butyl
Hydroperoxide is one of the general cationic emulsion and suspension
polymerization initiators for ethylene, vinylacetate, acrylates. PVC, unsaturated
polyesters. It is used as a catalyst in oxidation and sulfonation
reactions. It is also used in bleaching and disinfectant. It is a strong
free radical source containing more than 12.5% of active oxygen. The
half-life temperatures are 172 C (for 10 hours), 200 C (1 for 1 hour) and
260 C (for 1 minute). It decomposes rapidly, causing fire and explosion
hazard, on heating and under influence of light. It reacts violently with
incompatible substances or ignition sources (acids, bases, reducing agents,
and heavy metals). It should be stored in a dry and refrigerated (<
27C recommended or 38 C max) area and to keep away from reducing agents
and incompatible substances.
