16066-38-9 Usage
Chemical Properties
It is a peroxydicarbonate used as polymer initiator. It is
thermally unstable with required continuous refrigeration
(temperature tolerance not above -23°C [-9°F]).
Refer to the Code for the Storage of Organic Peroxide Formulations (13a). Storage incompatibility includes strong
acids, oxidizing agents, alkaline materials, reducing agents,
and amines. Also, it should be stored away from excessive
heat, sources of ignition, and reactive materials (12a). No
additional information was located for this compound.
Uses
It is industrially produced and used as polymer initiator.
General Description
Di-n-propyl peroxydicarbonate is particularly sensitive to temperature rises and contamination. Above a given "Control Temperature" they decompose violently.
Reactivity Profile
Di-n-propyl peroxydicarbonate decomposes violently or explosively at temperatures 0-10° C. owing to self-accelerating exothermic decomposition; Several explosions were due to shock, heat or friction; amines and certain metals can cause accelerated decomposition [Bretherick, 1979 p. 156].
Safety Profile
Moderately toxic by
ingestion and skin contact. When heated to
decomposition it emits acrid smoke and
irritating fumes.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 16066-38-9 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 1,6,0,6 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 16066-38:
(7*1)+(6*6)+(5*0)+(4*6)+(3*6)+(2*3)+(1*8)=99
99 % 10 = 9
So 16066-38-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
