United Initiators NOROX®400 Peroxy-2-ethylhexyl tert-butyl carbonate 34443-12-4

2023-10-11norox400
NOROX® 400 is a colorless, free-flowing liquid whose main component is technically pure tert-butyl peroxy-(2-ethylhexyl) carbonate.This carbonate mono-peroxide offers superior thermal stability and is used as an initiator (radical source) for curing agents in unsaturated polyester resins. Its primary applications include the hot-press molding of SMC or BMC at temperatures ranging from 130 to 160°C. Technical Data
  • Appearance: Colorless liquid
  • Peroxide content: approx. 99% w/w
  • Active oxygen content: approx. 6.43% w/w
  • No inhibitors
  • Density (20°C): approx. 0.93 g/cm³
  • Viscosity (20°C): approx. 6 mPa·s
  • Refractive index (20°C): approx. 1.428
  • Critical temperature (SADT): approx. 70°C
  • Refrigerated stability: below -30°C
  • Reaction onset temperature: approximately 90°C
  • Recommended storage temperature: not exceeding 30°C
  • Shelf life from date of delivery: 3 months
Applications
  • Curing agent for unsaturated polyester resins; temperature range: 130–160°C.
  • Usage: 1–2% of the resin supply.
  • "Shelf life" (gel time of resin + peroxide) can reach several weeks or months at room temperature.
  • Sensitive to certain fillers and heavy metal salts.
  • Adding 0.1–0.3% of Inhibitor BC-500 can significantly extend the “shelf life.”
  • Curing rates are low in the 85–95°C range (the “cracking” temperature) unless exothermic reactions occur (e.g., in heated molds).
  • Curing within a few minutes is only possible within the optimal temperature range of 130–160°C for hot-press molding.
  • It is primarily used for hot-press molding of SMC or BMC, but can also be used for coil impregnation (e.g., transformers).
Packaging
  • The standard packaging for NOROX® 400 is 25 kilograms.
