Di-n-propyl peroxydicarbonate Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

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.

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].

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by ingestion and skin contact. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
