Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
The self accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT) of di-(2-ethylhexyl) peroxydicarbonate is 0 °C. The OP-type of the substance (UN number 3113) is as follows: "Organic peroxide type C, liquid, temperature controlled". The test item does not detonate and does not deflgarate rapidly.
Additional information
Control temperature and emergency temperature are calculated based on the SADT. SADT is defined as the lowest temperature at which self-accelerating decomposition of a substance can take place that is packaged for transport.
In ADR 2011 the control temperature and the emergency temperature of di-(2-ethylhexyl) peroxydicarbonate are reported (−20°C and −10 °C, respectively). Based on these data conclusions on SADT can be drawn, which is 0 °C for the test item.
The UN number of di-(2-ethylhexyl) peroxydicarbonate is 3113. Thus the substance is an "Organic peroxide type C, liquid, temperature controlled".
Organic peroxides of type C are defined as follows:
“Every preparation of organic peroxides that has explosive properties can be transported without the additional indicator "Explosive" if the substance/mixture in its transport packaging (maximum 50 kg) does neither detonate, deflagrate rapidly, nor explode thermally.”
Thus it can be concluded that di-(2-ethylhexyl) peroxydicarbonate does not detonate and does not deflagrate rapidly.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
