    Applications
    For Polymer Production/Poly(meth)acrylics: Polymerization of ethylene: Trigonox 21-C50 is an efficient initiator for the
    production of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE). It is used both for tubular and autoclave processes. In most cases a
    combination with other peroxides is used to ensure a broad reactivity range. Polymerization of styrene: In suspension
    polymerization processes, Trigonox 21-C50 can be used for the polymerization of styrene at approximately 90°C.
    Trigonox 21-C50 has an activity comparable with dibenzoyl peroxide (Perkadox L-W75). Typically, Trigonox 21-C50 is used
    in combination with initiators such as tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate (Trigonox C). Polymerization of acrylates and
    methacrylates: Trigonox 21-C50 is an efficient initiator for the solution (co)polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates
    in the temperature range of 65-100°C, amongst others for the manufacture of coatings. Trigonox 21-C50 can also be
    applied as an initiator for the bulk and suspension (co)polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates. For Thermoset:
    Trigonox 21-C50 is a suitable initiator for the curing of unsaturated polyester, vinyl ester and acrylic thermosetting resins
    in the temperature range of 100 - 140°C (212 - 284°F). Trigonox 21-C50 is the classic intermediate initiator for pultrusion
    applications, and also finds wide use in molding compounds and cured-in-place pipe systems. The activation
    temperature of Trigonox 21-C50 can be lowered by the use of metal salts such as cobalt octoate.
    Half-life data
    The reactivity of an organic peroxide is usually given by its half-life (t1/2) at various temperatures. For Trigonox 21-C50 in
    chlorobenzene half-life at other temperatures can be calculated by using the equations and constants mentioned below:

    0.1 hr at 113°C

    1 hr at 91°C

    10 hr at 72°C

    Formula 1 kd = A·e-Ea/RT

    Formula 2 t½ = (ln2)/kd

    Ea 124.90 kJ/mole

    A 1.54E+14 s-1

    R 8.3142 J/mole·K

    T (273.15+°C) K

    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.

    SADT 40°C

    Emergency temperature (Tₑ ) 35°C

    Control temperature (Tc) 30°C

    Method 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).

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

    Ts Max. 10°C

    Ts Min. -30°C (-25°C IBC)

    Note When stored under these recommended storage conditions, Trigonox 21-C50 will
    remain within the Nouryon specifications for a period of at least 3 months after
    delivery.

    Packaging and transport


    The standard packaging is a 1000 l composite Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC). Both packaging and transport meet the
    international regulations. For the availability of other packed quantities consult your Nouryon representative. Trigonox 21-
    C50 is classified as Organic peroxide type F; liquid, temperature controlled, Division 5. 2; UN 3119.

    Safety and handling


    Keep containers tightly closed. Store and handle Trigonox 21-C50 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 Safety
    Data Sheet (SDS) for further information on the safe storage, use and handling of Trigonox 21-C50. This information
    should be thoroughly reviewed prior to acceptance of this product. The SDS is available at nouryon.com/sds-search.
