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.

Packaging and transport


Trigonox® 239 is packed in non-returnable polyethylene containers of 7 lb net weight (4 per case). Both packaging and
transport meet the international regulations. For the availability of other packed quantities contact your Nouryon
representative. Trigonox® 239 is classified as Organic peroxide type F; liquid, Division 5. 2; UN 3109.

Safety and handling


Keep containers tightly closed. Store and handle Trigonox® 239 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® 239. This information should be
thoroughly reviewed prior to acceptance of this product. The SDS is available at nouryon.com/sds-search.
