Product Description
Rubber compounds containing Perkadox® BC-FF offer good processing safety and a moderate curing rate.
-
Safe processing temperature: 130°C (ts₂ > 20 minutes, measured by rheometer)
-
Typical crosslinking temperature: 170°C (t₉₀ approx. 12 minutes, measured by rheometer)
The above data was obtained using a rheometer with EPDM (ethylene propylene diene rubber) as the base material and can serve as a reference for actual processing and formulation design.

Half-Life Data
The activity of organic peroxides is typically expressed in terms of their half-life (t₁/₂) at different temperatures. The half-life of Perkadox® BC-FF in chlorobenzene is:
0.1 hour | at 154°C (309°F) |
---|---|
1 hour | at 132°C (270°F) |
10 hours | at 112°C (234°F) |
Equation 1 | kd = A·e-Ea/RT |
Equation 2 | t½ = (ln2)/kd |
Ea | 152.67 kJ/mole |
A | 9.24E+15 s-1 |
R | 8.3142 J/mole·K |
T | (273.15+°C) K |
Thermal Stability
Organic peroxides are thermally unstable substances that may undergo self-accelerating decomposition.
The Self-Accelerating Decomposition Temperature (SADT) refers to the lowest temperature at which a substance may begin to self-decompose in its transport packaging.
- SADT of Perkadox® BC-FF: 75°C (167°F)
- Test method: Thermal accumulation storage test (as referenced in the UN “Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods – Manual of Tests and Criteria”)
Storage Recommendations
Due to the potential for quality degradation over time, Nouryon recommends the following storage conditions to minimize risk:
- Maximum storage temperature: 30°C (86°F)
- Store in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area
- Keep away from heat sources, ignition sources, and direct sunlight
- Do not repackage or weigh the product in storage areas
