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.
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.
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
