We have a long history in organic peroxides, starting with dibenzoyl peroxide for the blea-ching of flour in the early 1920s. Since then, we have added many new organic peroxides to our product portfolio, with the growth of plastics in everyday life.

Today we are the number one in curing systems for thermoset resins, coatings and specialty monomers.

Our range of organic peroxides is the world’s largest. We cover classes such as ketone per-oxides, diacyl peroxides, peroxyesters, dialkyl peroxides, peroxyketals, hydroperoxides and peroxy(di)carbonates. In addition we supply azo (N-N) initiators. These products are marketed under well-known trademarks such as Cadox, Trigonox, Perkadox, Laurox and Butanox.

We also have a whole range of auxiliary products, such as accelerators, promoters, inhibitors and release agents, to meet your specific production requirements.

At AkzoNobel we look beyond horizons. We believe that what is good for you today is not necessarily good enough for you tomorrow. We are committed to helping you further improve your curing systems. We offer you the technological answers you need.

As a company of innovation we have a stream of new, high-value products to maintain our leader-ship. For instance our range of phthalate-free curing agents including Perkadox L-40 RPS, which is a low viscous, sprayable BPO suspen-sion for road marking.

Not to forget our Vanishing Red (VR) peroxi-des. These unique materials provide all of the benefits of normal dyed peroxides, such as insurance of peroxide addition and verifica-tion of consistent mixing, without the lasting red color that normal dyed peroxides leave in the cured resin.

Innovation does not stop with our organic peroxides. Most recently, we’ve led the way with a new generation of thermoset accelerators.

Our Nouryact™ Cobalt-free accelerators offer more sustainable alternatives to traditional cobalt octoate and cobalt acetate. These products are developed as part of our conti-nuous drive towards a Cobalt-free composites world. We strive to offer a suitable curing system for all your applications.

Safety and technical support is mainly provided from laboratories in Deventer - The Netherlands, the site of AkzoNobel’s fundamental peroxide R&D, Pasadena (TX) - USA, Los Reyes - Mexico, Tianjin - China and Asa - Japan. Our researchers are based in dedicated customer-focused busi-ness teams. They perform research, product and process development and technical support in order to translate market needs into new products. They understand the needs of our customers and are committed to their success.

Our thorough understanding and knowledge of free radical chemistry and thermoset tech-nology is the basis for the development of innovative and sustainable products, designed with you in mind.

Tomorrow’s Answers Today

Innovation has brought us to where we are today. We are the global leader in thermoset curing systems and are determined to maintain our status. We act in the present but think about the future. We look ahead and help our customers find answers to questions that they will face tomorrow.

Make cure visible with Cadox® D-50 VRVanishing Red organic peroxides to monitor dosing, mixing and curing

Everyone knows that chameleons change color to match their surroundings. But not only chameleons are known for their ability to change color. Our Vanishing Red (VR) organic peroxides do so to match the needs of our customers and allow you to monitor the curing process of your thermoset resins.

Our VR curing systems provide all of the benefits of normal dyed peroxides, such as insurance of peroxide addition and verification of consistent mixing, without the lasting red color normal dyed peroxides leave in the cured resin. And just like chameleons, the color of our Vanishing Red organic peroxides literally changes in front of your eyes.

Safety: Our top priority

AkzoNobel is recognized as the global leader in organic peroxide safety. Our proven success in safely handling organic peroxides is due to our long-term commitment to developing and maintaining high safety standards. We always place safety as our top priority.

Sharing our experience in safety is one of the most important resources we offer. Through our safety programs we provide expert advice on the handling of our products including:

• Classroom review of safety and handling of organic peroxides

• Consultation on storage and dosing facility design• Demonstrations on the safe use, handling and

control of organic peroxides

Our Safety Research Laboratory in Deventer, The Netherlands is heavily involved in R&D, en-suring the development of safe products and processes. Studies are carried out, in order to provide a high level of safety in manufacturing, handling and transport of dangerous goods.

Storage temperaturesThe Ts max. given in the product list on pages 10-19 is the recommended maximum storage temperature at which the product is stable and quality loss will be minimal.

A minimum storage temperature (Ts min.) is given if phase separation, crystallization or soli-dification of the product is known to occur below the temperature indicated. We recommend that you store the product above the Ts min. indica-ted for quality and in some cases safety reasons.

SADT: Self-Accelerating Decomposition Temperature The SADT is the lowest temperature at which self-accelerating decomposition may occur with a substance in the packaging as used in trans-port. Transportation temperatures are derived from the SADT according to the recommendations by the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods.

NFPA ClassThe NFPA 432 Code for the Storage of Organic Peroxide Formulations is set by the US National Fire Protection Association to provide enhanced fire protection and storage requirements for organic peroxides.

The system is based on the behavior of certain specific formulations in their US Department of Transportation- or Canadian Ministry of Transport-approved shipping containers and under conditions of fire exposure.

As one of the US recognized standards, we have included all classifications that were available at the time of publication of this product catalog. We encourage you to obtain a copy NFPA 432 from the NFPA website at www.nfpa.org.

PackagingWe offer a variety of packaging options for both liquid and solid organic peroxides. The maximum package size for each organic peroxide is regulated by the United Nations, based on the hazard classification of the peroxide as shown in table 1 on page 9.

Liquid organic peroxidesStandard packages for our liquid, dispersion and paste-form peroxides are shown in table 2.

We also understand the need to innovate our packaging. For instance our Nourytainer®. Developed by AkzoNobel it is recognized as the world’s benchmark in liquid organic peroxide handling. And we’re continually looking for new ways to optimize safe transport, handling and storage of organic peroxides.

Solid organic peroxidesSolid peroxides from AkzoNobel are available in packages shown in table 3.

Standard packages for each product are given in our Product Data Sheets at www.akzonobel.com/polymer. For the availability of our products in non-standard packages, please consult your AkzoNobel account manager.
