Di-t-butyl-peroxideDi-tert-Butyl Peroxide is a colorless to yellow liquid, with characteristic odor.
Chemical Formula:
C8H18O2
Other names:
Layman's explanation:
Di-tert-Butyl Peroxide is used as a polymerization initiator, curing agent and cross-linking agent. It is a highly reactive compound, which can be flammable when exposed to open flames and sparks. Upon exposure to heat, it undergoes gaseous decomposition. Its vapors are denser than air, hence it travels along the ground. It should be kept away from combustible material like wood, clothing, oil, and paper. This material may form flammable dust-air mixtures. Potential for a dust explosion may exist. Exposure to humans is mainly through inhalation, dermal contact. It can cause irritation to eye and skin, inhalation can cause cough, shortness of breath and sore throat, and ingestion can cause vomiting and abdominal cramps.
