Methyl Etheyl Ketone Peroxide

Organic peroxides are thermally unstable substances or mixtures, which can undergo exothermic self-accelerating decomposition. The thermal stability of an organic peroxide is characterized by its Self-Accelerating Decomposition Temperature (SADT). The SADT is the lowest temperature at which the peroxide will decompose in its original packaging via a so-called runaway reaction. This runaway reaction can be, dependent on the circumstances, a fierce decomposition, followed by self-ignition of the vapors or even an explosion.
