Applications
Trigonox® A-W70 (tert-Butyl hydroperoxide, 70% solution in water) can be used for the market segments: polymer
production, thermoset composites, acrylics and pharma with their different applications/functions. For more information
please check our website and/or contact us.
Half-life data
The reactivity of an organic peroxide is usually given by its half-life (t½) at various temperatures. For Trigonox® A-W70 in
chlorobenzene half-life at other temperatures can be calculated by using the equations and constants mentioned below:

0.1 hr at 207°C

1 hr at 185°C

10 hr at 164°C

Formula 1 kd = A·e-Ea/RT

Formula 2 t½ = (ln2)/kd

Ea 186.01 kJ/mole

A 3.18E+17 s-1

R 8.3142 J/mole·K

T (273.15+°C) K

Thermal stability
Organic peroxides are thermally unstable substances, which may undergo self-accelerating decomposition. The lowest
temperature at which self-accelerating decomposition of a substance in the original packaging may occur is the Self-
Accelerating Decomposition Temperature (SADT). The SADT is determined on the basis of the Heat Accumulation Storage
Test.

SADT 80°C

Method The Heat Accumulation Storage Test is a recognized test method for the
determination of the SADT of organic peroxides (see Recommendations on the
Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria - United Nations, New
York and Geneva).

Storage
Due to the relatively unstable nature of organic peroxides a loss of quality can be detected over a period of time. To
minimize the loss of quality, Nouryon recommends a maximum storage temperature (Ts max. ) for each organic peroxide
product.

Ts Max. 35°C and

Ts Min. 0°C to prevent freezing

Note When stored according to these recommended storage conditions, Trigonox® A-


W70 will remain within the Nouryon specifications for a period of at least 3 months
after delivery.

Packaging and transport


The standard packaging is a 30-liter HDPE can (Nourytainer®) for 25 kg peroxide solution or a 220-liter HDPE drum for 190
kg peroxide solution. Delivery in a 1250 l stainless steel Intermediate Bulk Container or in a 20 m3 Nouryon tank container
is also possible in a number of countries. Both packaging and transport meet the international regulations. For the
availability of other packed quantities consult your Nouryon representative. Trigonox® A-W70 is classified as Organic
peroxide type F, liquid; Division 5. 2; UN 3109.

Safety and handling


Keep containers tightly closed. Store and handle Trigonox® A-W70 in a dry well-ventilated place away from sources of
heat or ignition and direct sunlight. Never weigh out in the storage room. Avoid contact with reducing agents (e. g.
amines), acids, alkalis and heavy metal compounds (e. g. accelerators, driers and metal soaps). Please refer to the Safety
Data Sheet (SDS) for further information on the safe storage, use and handling of Trigonox® A-W70. This information
should be thoroughly reviewed prior to acceptance of this product. The SDS is available at nouryon.com/sds-search.
