Polymerization of styrene: PEROXAN HXP may be used in polymerization and copolymarization of styrene. Temperature range: 80 to 110°C Dosing: 0,1 to 0,5 phr
Polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates: PEROXAN HXP can be used as initiator for the solution, bulk and suspension (co)polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates. Temperature range (solution polym.): 80 to 160°C Dosing: 0,1 to 1 phr
Other applications: PEROXAN HXP may also be used for the (co)polymerization of butadiene.

- Product Handling and Storage
- Maximum storage temperature (Ts max) : 15°C
- Storage stability as from date of delivery : 3 months
- 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.
