Lauroyl peroxide
Properties:
Peroxydodecanoyl (Peroxide dinitrate, Peroxy dinitrate) is an organic energetic substance.
It is a solid, white crystalline substance with strong fumes and a corrosive odor.
Appearance and properties: white crystal
Density: 0,91 g/cm3
Boiling point: 467ºC
Melting point: 53-57 °C(lit.)
Flash Point: > 110ºC
Refractive index: 1.453
Uses:
Peroxide dinitrate is mainly used in the preparation of explosives and propellants.
With its high-energy properties and stability, it is an important component of rocket motor propellants.
Dodecanoyl peroxide is also used in the preparation of explosive devices and explosive drugs.
Its high energy and explosive properties require great caution when using dodecanoyl peroxide.
Preparation Methods:
The preparation of dodecanoyl peroxide is generally accomplished by a nitrate reaction.
1. Place boric acid in nitric acid.
2. Then add dodecanol butyl ether.
3. Stir the reaction at low temperature.
4. Purification and drying are carried out.
Safety Information:
Strict safety precautions are required when using dodecanoyl peroxide.
It has high-energy properties and is explosive, operators should wear appropriate protective clothing and explosion-proof equipment and operate under conditions with proper ventilation.
Avoid contact with combustible materials and absolutely prohibit smoking or the use of open flames during use.
When storing, peroxydodecanoyl peroxide should be kept away from fire and heat sources and properly sealed.
