Abstract: Organic peroxide composition that is solid at room temperature, said composition comprising (i) at least about 40 wt %—based on the weight of the entire composition—of an organic peroxide that is solid at room temperature, said organic peroxide being selected from peroxydicarbonates and diacylperoxides, and (ii) about 0.001 to about 5 wt %—based on the weight of organic peroxide in the composition—of an HCl scavenger that is solid at room temperature.

Abstract: Emulsion comprising an oil phase dispersed in an aqueous phase, wherein said oil phase comprises at least 53 wt % of one or more organic peroxides, more than 50 wt % of which have a molecular active oxygen content of at least 7.00 5 wt %, said emulsion satisfying the classification tests for organic peroxide type F. This emulsion allows the safe transport and storage of organic peroxide emulsions with high active oxygen content without the need for larger vent openings or higher design pressure of transport tanks and storage tanks.

Abstract: Packaged formulation comprising a compound liable to exothermic decomposition and optionally one or more organic diluents, said formulation being packaged in a container with a volume of at least 250 liter provided with a vent to release gases and made from a thermoplastic material having a Vicat B softening temperature not higher than (a) the run-away temperature of the compound liable to exothermic decomposition if the formulation does not contain any diluent, or (b) the boiling temperature of at least 50 wt % of the total weight of diluent if the formulation does contain organic diluent.

Abstract: Pressure release container, e.g. for peroxide materials, with a spout opening (2), a neck (3) along the periphery of the spout opening, and a venting cover (5). The venting cover comprises a body plate (6) to cover the spout opening, the body plate having a vent opening (7) and having a flange (9) with fastening means, e.g. a screw thread (4), to cooperate with corresponding fastening means on the outer face of the neck. The vent opening is covered by a gas permeable sheet (11) fixed between the fastening means of the neck and the flange. The vent opening can be provided with a pop-off cap (8).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method to safely produce, handle and transport packaged organic peroxide formulations comprising a reactive phlegmatiser and to the use of such packaged material in polymerisation and polymer modification processes, particularly the high-pressure (co)polymerisation process of ethylene and/or the suspension (co)polymerisation process of styrene.

Abstract: The invention relates to peroxide compositions that are phlegmatised with a specific unsaturated phlegmatising agent. The phlegmatised peroxide compositions are optionally stabilised. In addition, the invention relates to the safe handling of these peroxide compositions and the use of these peroxide compositions in polymerisation processes.
