。Packaging and transport
The standard packaging is a 25-liter HDPE can for 20 kg peroxide solution or a 220-liter HDPE
drum for 190 kg peroxide solution.
LQ-TAHP is classified as Organic peroxide type F, liquid; Division 5.2; UN 3109; PG II.
。Application
LQ-TAHP can be used as an initiator in bulk, aqueous solution and emulsion polymerization of
styrene, acrylates and methacrylates.
The polymerization can be initiated by radicals generated by the thermal decomposition of LQ-
TAHP above 110°C or through a redox mechanism at low temperatures.
The use as an oxidizing agent for hydrocarbons or other chemicals.
