Diacetone alcohol peroxide(in a mixture,content≤57%,containing≥8% water,≤26%diacetone alcohol,≤9% hydrogen peroxide,≤10% available oxygen) is particularly sensitive to temperature rises and contamination. Above a given "Control Temperature" they decompose violently. Diacetone alcohol peroxide(in a mixture,content≤57%,containing≥8% water,≤26%diacetone alcohol,≤9% hydrogen peroxide,≤10% available oxygen) is generally stored or transported in a solvent slurry, water alcohol, etc.
DIACETONE ALCOHOL PEROXIDE is not prepared or isolated in pure form, mentioned only in three patent documents as an intermediate to initiate polymerization. Generated by the peroxidation of ketones with hydrogen peroxide to produce plastics [Chemical Abstracts, AN 99:106328; 93:240488; 82:87000]. See Hydrogen peroxide and Peroxides.
