TBPB, which is pale yellow, is exclusively encountered as a solution in solvents such as ethanol or phthalate. As peroxo compound, TBPB contains about 8.16 wt% of active oxygen and has a self accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT) of about 60 °C. The SADT is the lowest temperature at which self-accelerating decomposition in the transport packaging can occur within a week, and which should not be exceeded while storage or transportation. TBPB should therefore be stored between minimum 10 °C (below solidification) and maximum 50 °C. Dilution with a high-boiling solvent increases the SADT. The half-life of TBPB, in which 50% of the peroxy ester is decomposed, is 10 hours at 104 °C, one hour at 124 °C and one minute at 165 °C. Amines, metal ions, strong acids and bases, as well as strong reducing and oxidizing agents accelerate the decomposition of TBPB even in low concentrations. However, TBPB is one of the safest peresters or organic peroxides in handling. The main decomposition products of tert-butyl peroxybenzoate are carbon dioxide, acetone, methane, tert-butanol, benzoic acid and benzene.

Uses
Tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate is used for elevated temperature curing of polyesters and to initiate polymerization reactions. It could used as a Polymerization initiator for polyethylene, polystyrene, polyacrylates, and polyesters. It is also used as a chemical intermediate.

Tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate was employed as polymerization and cross-linking catalyst. It was also was employed as initiator during ?grafting of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO)-4-oxyacetamido-(3 propyltriethoxysilane) to poly(ethylene co-octene and in preparation of conformal poly(cyclohexyl methacrylate) thin films via initiated chemical vapor deposition.

Reactivity Profile
TERT-BUTYL PEROXYBENZOATE explodes with great violence when rapidly heated to a critical temperature; pure form is shock sensitive and detonable [Bretherick 1979 p. 602]. Upon contact with organic matter, t-butyl peroxybenzoate can ignite or give rise to an explosion [Haz. Chem. Data 1973 p. 77].

Health Hazard
T-Butyl peroxybenzoate is a mild skin andeye irritant. Exposure to 500 mg/day causedmild irritation in rabbit eyes and skin. Toxicitydata on animals show a low order oftoxicity.
LD50 value, oral (mice): 914 mg/kg
It has been reported to cause tumors(blood) in mice. Its carcinogenic actions onhumans are unknown.

Fire Hazard
Highly reactive and oxidizing compound with moderate flammability; flash point (open cup) 107–110°C (224.6–230°F); autoignition temperature not reported. It forms an explosive mixture with air; the explosive range not reported. It is not sensitive to shock but is heat sensitive. It explodes on heating; self-accelerating decomposition temperature 60°C (140°F).
It may react explosively when mixed with readily oxidizable, organic, and flammable substances. Fire-extinguishing agent: water from a sprinkler; use water to keep the containers cool.

Safety Profile
Moderately toxic by ingestion. A skin and eye irritant. Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data. Mutation data reported. See also PEROXIDES, ORGANIC. Potentially explosive when heated above 11 5'C. Explosive reaction on contact with organic matter or copperQ) bromide + limonene. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and fumes.

Carcinogenicity
Other studies have determined the possibility that t-butyl peroxybenzoate can be metabolized to free radicals by human carcinoma skin keratinocytes. Free radicals are suggested to be involved in the cascade of events occurring during tumor promotion .

Storage
It should be stored in a well-ventilatedplace at a temperature between 10 and27°C (50–80°F), isolated from oxidizable,flammable, organic materials and accelerators.It should be shipped in glass, polyethylene,and earthenware containers of up to5-gallon capacity placed inside wooden orfiberboard boxes.
