General Description
Sensitive to heat. Must be stored with stringent maintenance of low temperature.
Reactivity Profile
TERT-BUTYLPEROXY ISOPROPYL CARBONATE is a oxidizing agent. 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 accelerate decomposition [Bretherick 1979 p. 151].
