| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
This peroxide is particularly sensitive to temperature rises and contamination. Above a given "Control Temperature" they decompose violently. TERT-BUTYL PEROXY-2-ETHYLHEXANOATE, NOT MORE THAN 50%, WITH PHLEGMATIZER(3006-82-4) is generally stored or transported with inert solids to mitigate the explosion hazard. | [Reactivity Profile]
TERT-BUTYL PEROXY-2-ETHYL-HEXANOATE explodes with great violence when rapidly heated to a critical temperature; pure form is shock sensitive and detonable [Bretherick 1979 p. 602]. 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]. Danger of explosion when dry | [Chemical Properties]
t-Butyl peroxy-2-ethylhexanoate is a colorless liquid. It has a
half-life in benzene of 10.0 h at 162°F (72°C). It is used as a
medium temperature initiator for the polymerization of vinyl
monomers and the curing of styrene-unsaturated polyester
resins. It is regarded as an intermediate fire hazard; however,
it has low impact sensitivity . | [Flammability and Explosibility]
