Half-life data
The reactivity of an organic peroxide is usually given by its half-life (t1/2) at various temperatures. For Trigonox® 301 inchlorobenzene half-life at other temperatures can be calculated by using the equations and constants mentioned below:

Thermal stability
Organic peroxides are thermally unstable substances, which may undergo self-accelerating decomposition. The lowest
temperature at which self-accelerating decomposition of a substance in the original packaging may occur is the SelfAccelerating Decomposition Temperature (SADT). The SADT is determined on the basis of the Heat Accumulation Storage
Test.
SADT

110°C (230°F)

MethodThe Heat Accumulation Storage Test is a recognized test method for thedetermination of the SADT of organic peroxides (see Recommendations on theTransport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria - United Nations, NewYork and Geneva).

StorageDue to the relatively unstable nature of organic peroxides a loss of quality can be detected over a period of time. To
minimize the loss of quality, Nouryon recommends a maximum storage temperature (Ts max. ) for each organic peroxideproduct.
Ts max.

40°C (104°F)

Ts min.

10°C (50°F)

Note

When stored under these recommended storage conditions, Trigonox® 301 willremain within the Nouryon specifications for a period of at least 12 months afterdelivery.

Packaging and transport
The standard packaging is a 30-liter Nourytainer® for 25 kg peroxide formulation. Both packaging and transport meet theinternational regulations. For the availability of other packed quantities consult your Nouryon representative. Trigonox®
301 is classified as Organic peroxide type D; liquid, Division 5.2; UN 3105.

Safety and handling
Keep away from open fire, sparks and other sources of heat or ignition. Avoid contact with reducing agents (e.g. amines),
acids, alkalis and heavy metal compounds (e.g. accelerators, driers and metal soaps). PLEASE Store Trigonox® 301 ABOVE
10°C! Please refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for further information on the safe storage, use and handling ofTrigonox® 301. This information should be thoroughly reviewed prior to acceptance of this product. The SDS is available
