soluble in most organic solvents e.g. methanol, styrene, Ethyl acetate. ; insoluble in water.
USES:
Used as a catalyst in hot press moulding of polyester resin in SMC / DMC, and polymerization. Also available in a phthalate plasticizer solution.
HAZARDS, HANDLING AND STORAGE:
The material is irritating to eyes, skin and respiratory passage. It is sensitive to heat. It is combustible and oxidizing. The higher the ambient temperature, higher the rate of decomposition and spontaneous decomposition may occur above 70°C in restricted heat transfer conditions e.g. in the supply container.
Contact with concentrated acids, alkalies, reducing agents or dirt, rust and metallic dust may also cause spontaneous decomposition. Under confinement, it is an explosion risk.
Fire may be fought by water or dry chemical powder. Safety goggles and hand gloves while working with the material to avoid contact. In case of accidental contact, wash skin with large amounts of water and soap. In case of contact with eyes, wash thoroughly with water or better with an aqueous 5% solution of sodium ascorbate or an aqueous 2% solution of sodium bicarbonate.
Store TBPB in a cool dry place below 30°C temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, rough handling, and store away from reducing agents listed above.
