Applications
Trigonox® 239 is a peroxide mixture based on cumene hydroperoxide. Trigonox® 239 is especially developed for the cure
of vinylester or phenacryl resins in combination with a cobalt accelerator. Trigonox® 239 can successfully be used instead
of generally applied keton peroxides like Butanox LPT with the following features: no ‘gassing’ after the peroxide is mixed
in the preaccelerated vinylester resin. This phenomenon is very often recognized as a disadvantage of ketone peroxides in
vinylester resins. The use of an amine accelerator is in general not necessary to achieve a good cure, a fast cure in thin
coatings and laminates up to a thickness of approx. 6 mm and a low peak exotherm in thick laminates.
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 60°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. 25°C
Note When stored under the recommended storage conditions, Trigonox® 239 will
remain within the Nouryon specifications for a period of at least 9 months after
delivery.
