Abstract
Tert-butyl(2-ethylhexyl)monoperoxy carbonate (TBEHC) 95 mass% is intrinsically a very unstable substance that can induce self-decomposition even under normal atmospheric condition. During storage, TBEHC 95mass% can release an enormous amount of heat if the temperature is higher than the recommended storage temperature, due to the self-accelerating reaction having been ignited. In this study, TBEHC 95mass% was tested by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under five heating rates (1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 °C/min) and four isothermal conditions (120, 125, 130, and 135 °C) to evaluate the basic kinetic and safety parameters of time to maximum rate (TMR), self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT), and temperature of no return (TNR). Under runaway reaction TBEHC 95 mass% releases a great quantity of heat. This study establishes an important guiding principle for related manufacturing processes worldwide.
