PDS Perkadox BM 50 R

This document provides information on Perkadox BM-50R, which is a 50% dibenzoyl peroxide paste used for curing unsaturated polyester resins. It has a maximum storage temperature of 25°C and a self-accelerating decomposition temperature of 50°C. Perkadox BM-50R is commonly used in bodystopper applications and provides a fast cure when combined with amine accelerators even at low temperatures. Recommended dosages are 2-5 phr of peroxide with 0.05-0.5 phr of amine accelerator.

Storage Due 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,
AkzoNobel recommends a maximum storage temperature (Ts max.) for
each organic peroxide product.

For Perkadox BM-50R Ts max. = 25°C

When stored under the recommended storage conditions, Perkadox BM-


50R will remain within the AkzoNobel specifications for a period of at least
6 months after delivery.

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 is determined on the basis of the Heat Accumulation Storage Test.

For Perkadox BM-50R SADT : 50°C

The Heat Accumulation Storage Test is a recognized test method for the determination of the
SADT of organic peroxides (see Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods,
Manual of Tests and Criteria - United Nations, New York and Geneva).

Major decomposition Carbon dioxide, benzoic acid, benzene, diphenyl, phenyl benzoate
products

Perkadox BM-50R is classified as Organic peroxide type E; solid; Division


5.2; UN 3108; PG I

Safety and handling Keep containers tightly closed. Store and handle Perkadox BM-50R in a
dry well-ventilated place away from sources of heat or ignition and direct
sunlight. Never weigh out in the storage room.

Avoid contact with reducing agents (e.g. amines), acids, alkalis and heavy
metal compounds (e.g. accelerators, driers and metal soaps).

Please refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for further
information on the safe storage, use and handling of Perkadox BM-50R.
This information should be thoroughly reviewed prior to acceptance of this
product.
The MSDS is available at www.akzonobel.com/polymer.

Applications Perkadox BM-50R is a phthalate free paste containing 50% dibenzoyl


peroxide for the curing of unsaturated polyester resins at ambient and
elevated temperatures. At temperatures up to 80°C, Perkadox BM-50R
should be used in combination with an aromatic tertiary amine accelerator,
above 80°C the use of an accelerator is not required.

Perkadox BM-50R has primarily been developed for the bodystopper


market. For non-filled systems, Perkadox CH-50X is better applicable with
respect to miscibility with the UP resin.

Perkadox BM-50R shows an excellent chemical and physical stability and


is therefore very suitable for tube filling.

The rheological behavior of Perkadox BM-50R is that of a thixotropic long


paste with a tendency of tailing.

The curing system Perkadox BM-50R/amine accelerator shows a very fast


cure that is hardly influenced by humidity and fillers.
Even at low temperatures a relatively good cure will be obtained.
A disadvantage may be the yellow color and poor light resistance of the
moulded product.

For ambient temperature curing the following amine accelerators are


available to adjust the gel time and speed of cure of the cure system
based on Perkadox BM-50R:

Accelerator NL-65-100 (N,N-Dimethyl-p-toluidine) for short gel times


Accelerator NL-63-100 (N,N-Dimethylaniline) for medium gel times
Accelerator NL-64-100 (N,N-Diethylaniline) for long gel times

TS 62124.01/May 2009

Dosing Depending on working conditions, the following peroxide and accelerator
dosage levels are recommended:

Perkadox BM-50R 2 - 5 phr *


Amine accelerator 0.05 - 0.5 phr

Cure of 4 mm laminates at 20°C

4 mm Laminates have been made with 450 g/m2 glass chopped strand
mat. The glass content in the laminates is 30% (w/w).

The following parameters were determined:


- Time-temperature curve
- Speed of cure expressed as the time to achieve a Barcol hardness
(934-1) of 0-5 and 25-30 respectively.
- Residual styrene content after 24h at 20°C and a subsequent postcure
of 8 h at 80°C.
