Bis(4-tert-butylcyclohexyl) peroxydicarbonate Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Properties Colorless solid
Chemical Properties Bis(4-tert-butylcyclohexyl) peroxydicarbonate is crystalline solid (white powder) with slight odor, sensitive to heat and contamination, and may decompose violently or explosively at temperature 0–10°C, owing to self-accelerating exothermic decomposition due to shock, heat, or friction. To lessen the explosion risk, di-(4-tert-butylcyclohexyl) peroxydicarbonate should be stored in a temperature controlled vessel and mixed with water to form a slurry of the peroxide. Hazardous polymerization does not occur (12c). Detached storage is preferred for this chemical, including out of direct sunlight in a cool wellventilated place. It should be stored away from combustibles and other incompatible materials, including strong acids, bases, oxidizers, reducing agents, amines, and promoters/ accelerators, which may result in a violent decomposition or explosion. Refer to the Code for the Storage of Organic Peroxide Formulations (13a).
Uses Di-(4-tert-butylcyclohexyl) peroxy dicarbonate is used as polymerization initiator. No information was located for this compound.
General Description Crystalline solid. Bis(4-tert-butylcyclohexyl) peroxydicarbonate is particularly heat and contamination sensitive. These materials above a given "control temperature" may decompose violently. They are often stored in a temperature controlled vessel, also mixed with water to form a slurry of the peroxide. This greatly lessens the explosion hazard risk.
Reactivity Profile DI-(4-TERT-BUTYLCYCLOHEXYL)PEROXYDICARBONATE 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].
