| 2,5-Dimethyl-2,5-di(tert-butylperoxy)hexane Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | colourless to light yellow liquid | | Uses | Polymerization initiator | | Uses | Initiates degradation of polypropylene, monomer scavenger in styrene polymerization. Free radical polymerization initiator. | | General Description | Clear, yellow liquid. also for storage and transport mixed with inert solid. | | Air & Water Reactions | Insoluble in water. | | Reactivity Profile | Peroxides, such as 2,5-DIMETHYL-2,5-DI-(TERT-BUTYLPEROXY)HEXANE, are good oxidizing agents. Organic compounds can ignite on contact with concentrated peroxides. Strongly reduced material such as sulfides, nitrides, and hydrides may react explosively with peroxides. There are few chemical classes that do not at least produce heat when mixed with peroxides. Many produce explosions or generate gases (toxic and nontoxic). Generally, dilute solutions of peroxides (<70%) are safe, but the presence of a catalyst (often a transition metal such as cobalt, iron, manganese, nickel, or vanadium) as an impurity may even then cause rapid decomposition, a buildup of heat, and even an explosion. Solutions of peroxides often become explosive when evaporated to dryness or near-dryness. Danger of explosion when dry. May explode from heat, shock, friction or contamination. May ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. | | Flammability and Explosibility | Flammable | | Safety Profile | Moderately toxic by
intraperitoneal route. Combustible when
exposed to heat, flames, or reducing agents.
To fight fire, use water spray, foam, dry
chemical. When heated to decomposition it
emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. Used
in the polymerization of styrene and in
cross-linking of various grades of
polyethylene. See also PEROXIDES,
