- Perkadox BC-FF can be used in polymer production, polymer crosslinking, thermoset composites, and acrylic resins.
- Active oxides are typically characterized by their half-life (t1/2) at different temperatures.
- The half-lives in chlorobenzene are: 0.1 hours (154°C), 1 hour (132°C), and 10 hours (112°C).
- Perkadox BC-FF is an organic peroxide and poses a potential risk of self-accelerating decomposition.
- Self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT): 75°C
- Recommended storage temperature: up to 30°C
- Standard packaging is in non-recyclable cardboard boxes, but other package sizes are also available.
- Users must carefully read the relevant Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) to understand safety information.
- Keep the container tightly closed and avoid contact with reducing agents, acids, bases, heavy metals, and other such substances.
