STORAGE
Due to relatively unstable nature of organic peroxides a loss of quantity can be detected over a period of time. To minimize loss of quantity, we recommend storage temperature for TBPB between 20 – 25°C.
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 self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT). The SADT of TBPB is 60°C.
