Packaging & Availability

Country Availability
Packaging Information

The standard packaging is a 30-liter HDPE can (Nourytainer®) for 25 kg peroxide solution or a 220-liter HDPE drum for 190 kg peroxide solution. Delivery in a 1250 l stainless steel Intermediate Bulk Container or in a 20 m3 Nouryon tank container is also possible in a number of countries. Both packaging and transport meet the international regulations. For the availability of other packed quantities consult your Nouryon representative. Trigonox® A-W70 is classified as Organic peroxide type F, liquid; Division 5. 2; UN 3109.

Storage & Handling

Storage Condition

Due to the relatively unstable nature of organic peroxides a loss of quality can be detected over a period of time. To minimize the loss of quality, Nouryon recommends a maximum storage temperature (Ts max. ) for each organic peroxide product.

  • Ts max. 35°C 
  • Ts min. 0°C to prevent freezing

Note When stored according to these recommended storage conditions, Trigonox® AW70 will remain within the Nouryon specifications for a period of at least 3 months after delivery.
