Dicetyl peroxydicarbonate is a white powder with faint odor. It
presents a bulk density of 0.6 g/cm3 andmelting point of 52°C.
It is sensitive to heat and its storage must be done so with
stringent temperature control measures. Its explosion hazard is
mitigated by mixing the peroxide with inert solid. It decomposes
violently or explosively at temperatures 0–10°C owing to
self-accelerating exothermic decomposition. Several recorded
explosions were due to shock, heat, or friction; amines and
certain metals can cause accelerated decomposition (12d).
