- Application Information
- Trigonox C is used for the crosslinking of natural and synthetic rubbers, as well as thermoplastic polyolefins.
- Rubber compounds containing Trigonox C have moderate processing safety in combination with a very high rate of cure.
- Safe processing temperature (rheometer ts2 > 20 minutes): 100°C
- Typical crosslink temperature (rheometer t90 about 12 minutes): 140°C
- Trigonox C is not recommended for compounds which contain carbon black.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Thermal stability
- Organic peroxides are thermally unstable substances, which may undergo self-accelerating decomposition. The lowest temperature at which self- accelerating decomposition of a substance in the original packaging may occur is the Self-Accelerating Decomposition Temperature (SADT). The SADT is determined on the basis of the Heat Accumulation Storage Test.
- For Trigonox C SADT : 60°C (140°F)
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Information
- In North America Trigonox C is packed in non-returnable, one gallon polyethylene containers of 8 lb net weight (packed 4 per case) and 5 gallon polyethylene containers of 40 lb net weight.
- In other regions the standard packaging is a 30-liter HDPE can (Nourytainer®) for 25 kg peroxide.
- Both packaging and transport meet the international regulations. For the availability of other packed quantities contact your AkzoNobel representative.
- Trigonox C is classified as Organic peroxide type C; liquid; Division 5.2; UN 3103.
Storage & Handling
- Storage Information
- 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, AkzoNobel recommends a maximum storage temperature (Ts max.) for each organic peroxide product.
- Ts max. = 25°C (77°F) and
Ts min. = 10°C (50°F) to prevent crystallization
