Diphenylmethyl peroxydicarbonate(not more than 87%,with water) is sensitive to heat. Storage of Diphenylmethyl peroxydicarbonate(not more than 87%,with water) must be done so with stringent temperature control measures. Its explosion hazard is also mitigated by mixing the peroxide in a water slurry.
Diphenylmethyl peroxydicarbonate(not more than 87%,with water) 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 cause accelerated decomposition [Bretherick, 1979 p. 156]. Danger of explosion when dry
