II | [Safety Profile]
Moderately toxic by
ingestion and skin contact. When heated to
decomposition it emits acrid smoke and
irritating fumes. |
| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
Di-n-propyl peroxydicarbonate is particularly sensitive to temperature rises and contamination. Above a given "Control Temperature" they decompose violently. | [Reactivity Profile]
Di-n-propyl peroxydicarbonate decomposes violently or explosively at temperatures 0-10° C. owing to self-accelerating exothermic decomposition; Several explosions were due to shock, heat or friction; amines and certain metals can cause accelerated decomposition [Bretherick, 1979 p. 156]. | [Chemical Properties]
It is a peroxydicarbonate used as polymer initiator. It is
thermally unstable with required continuous refrigeration
(temperature tolerance not above -23°C [-9°F]).
Refer to the Code for the Storage of Organic Peroxide Formulations (13a). Storage incompatibility includes strong
acids, oxidizing agents, alkaline materials, reducing agents,
and amines. Also, it should be stored away from excessive
heat, sources of ignition, and reactive materials (12a). No
additional information was located for this compound. | [Uses]
It is industrially produced and used as polymer initiator. |
