Keep packaging tightly closed in a well ventilated place at indicated storage temperature. Keep away from reducing agents e.g. amines, acids, alkalis, heavy metal compounds (e.g. accelerators, driers, metal soaps). Never weigh out in storage room.
Oxidizing agent. Decomposes violently under the influence of heat or by contact with reducing agent. Never mix with accelerators.
Organic Peroxides are more or less stable products but will decompose under the influence of heat. To minimize a loss of quality during storage, it is important that the recommended maximum storage temperature is not exceeded. If a minimum storage temperature is given, an undesirable process such as a solidification or phase separation, is known to occur below this temperature.

PEROXAN HX
Dialkyl peroxide / Polymerization / Curing / Crosslinking
Controlled rheology polypropylene (CR-PP) in an extrusion process:
PEROXAN HX allows great flexibility in controlling the melt flow index (MFI) of polypropylene. Small changes in either peroxide concentration or process temperature can produce significantly different MFIs. The MFI increases with the peroxide level.
Temperature range: 200 to 250°C
Dosing: 0,01 to 0,1 phr
PEROXAN HX is used for the curing of unsaturated polyester resins at elevated temperatures.
PEROXAN HX is preferred for the curing of UP resin based hot press moulding formulations in the temperature range from 140° to 180°C.
The stability of this Dialkyl peroxide in an UP resin is hardly influenced by the presence of metal accelerators, pigments or fillers.
Depending on working conditions, the following peroxide dosage level is recommended:
PEROXAN HX: 1,0 to 2,0 phr
PEROXAN HX is recommended for the crosslinking of NBR, SBR, EP(D)M, LDPE and EVA. Rubber compounds containing PEROXAN HX have excellent scorch safety.
Safe processing temperature (t2): 135°C
Typical crosslinking temperature (t90): 175°C
The safe processing temperature t2 is defined as the temperature, at which the scorch time is longer than 20 minutes. The typical crosslinking temperature t90 is defined as the temperature at which 90% of the crosslinks in the compound are formed within about 12 minutes.
Please refer to the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for information concerning safe storage, use and handling of PEROXAN HX. This information should be thoroughly reviewed prior to acceptance of this product. The MSDS is available for downloading at www.pergan.com or through contacting Pergan directly.
