Di-n-butyl peroxydicarbonate(in solution,content≤27%) Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

Butyl peroxydicarbonate is a colorless liquid. Highly unstable peroxide, it crystallizes when dry or heated. May explode from heat, shock, or friction, when dry. During decomposition, it emits acrid smoke and irritating vapors. Handle with extreme care. It decomposes violently or explosively at temperatures 0–10°C owing to self-accelerating exothermic decomposition. Several recorded explosions were due to shock, heat, or friction; amines and certain metals can cause accelerated decomposition. Shipped or stored with not more than 62% peroxide in solution of organic solvent (12d). Refer to the Code for the Storage of Organic Peroxide Formulations (13a). It is commonly used as oxidant agent. No additional information was found on this compound.
