Half-life data is provided for comparison purposes to select among different peroxides for use. Half-life is defined as the time it takes for one half of a given quantity of peroxide in dilute solution to decompose at a given temperature. The decomposition rate is first order and is characterized at a given temperature by the equation -dC/dt = kC where C is peroxide concentration, t is time and k is the first-order rate constant. For convenience in comparing the stability of peroxides in dilute solutions, peroxides are commonly listed according to the temperatures at which they have half-lives of 10 hours or 1 hour. The higher the temperature corresponding to the half-life, the more stable the peroxide. Half-life temperatures can vary based on the manner in which they are determined, especially the solvent used. More detailed information about half-life can be found in other product bulletins available in the literature section of this website or by calling 1-800-331-7654.
