The reactivity of an organic peroxide is usually given by its half-life (t½) at various temperatures. For DTBP in chlorobenzene, half-life at other temperatures can be calculated using the following equations:

Formula 1: kd = A·e^(-Ea/RT)

Formula 2: t½ = (ln2)/kd

Where:

Ea = 153.46 kJ/mole

A = 4.20E+15 s⁻¹

R = 8.3142 J/mole·K

T = (273.15 + °C) K

Temperature (°C) Half-Life

164°C 0.1 hour

141°C 1 hour

121°C 10 hours

Maximum Temperature: 40°C (104°F)

Minimum Temperature: -30°C (-22°F) to prevent crystallization

When stored according to these recommended conditions, Perodox B will remain within specifications for at least 6 months after delivery.

DTBP is classified as:

Organic peroxide type E

Liquid, Division 5.2

UN 3107

Major decomposition products include:Acetone,Methane,tert-Butanol

Organic peroxides are thermally unstable substances which may undergo self-accelerating decomposition. The SADT is determined based on the Heat Accumulation Storage Test according to UN recommendations.
