CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate appears as a white solid (shipped packed in Dry Ice to stabilize) with a sharp unpleasant odor. Insoluble in sater and sinks in water. Used as polymerization catalyst. (USCG, 1999) |
|---|---|
| Color/Form | Crystalline solid |
| Melting Point | 50 °F (USCG, 1999) |
| Solubility | Almost insol in water; miscible with aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, esters, ethers and chlorinated hydrocarbons |
| Density | 1.08 at 59 °F (USCG, 1999) - Denser than water; will sink |
| Decomposition | Spontaneous decomposition at room temperature releases flammable and corrosive products. |
