Cumene Hydroperoxide (CHP) (CAS 80-15-9)

21100302

Cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) is an important organic peroxide. The following provides comprehensive information on the properties, uses, production process and safety of this chemical substance.

1. Basic Physicochemical Properties

  • Appearance: colorless to slightly yellow oily liquid in pure form.

  • Odor: special aromatic odor.

  • Solubility: slightly soluble in water; readily soluble in organic solvents such as alcohol, ether, benzene and chloroform.

  • Stability: unstable; decomposes violently on heating or in contact with acids, bases or metal ions (such as iron and copper).

2. Main Industrial Uses

Cumene hydroperoxide plays an extremely important role in the chemical industry. Its main uses include:

  • Production of phenol and acetone (Hock process): this is the most important use of CHP. Under the action of an acidic catalyst (usually sulfuric acid), CHP undergoes a rearrangement reaction and decomposes to produce phenol and acetone. More than about 90% of the world's phenol is produced by this process.

  • Polymerization initiator: in the rubber and plastics industry, CHP is often used as a free-radical polymerization initiator, especially in the emulsion polymerization of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and the production of ABS resin.

  • Oxidizing agent in organic synthesis: used as an oxidant in fine chemicals, for example in the epoxidation of olefins or the oxidation of thioethers into sulfoxides.

  • Curing agent: used for the room-temperature curing of certain unsaturated polyester resins (usually with a promoter).

3. Production Process

CHP is usually produced by the liquid-phase auto-oxidation of cumene with air (or oxygen) under alkaline conditions: the cumene is heated to a certain temperature (about 80-120°C), air is introduced, and the tertiary carbon hydrogen atom in the cumene is oxidized to form cumene hydroperoxide. The product usually exists in solution form (concentration about 60%-80%), because excessively high purity is extremely prone to explosion.

4. Safety and Protection (Very Important)

Since CHP is an organic peroxide (Class 5.2 dangerous goods), its handling requires very high safety requirements:

  • Thermal instability: CHP has a self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT). If the storage temperature is too high, it can trigger exothermic decomposition and even cause fire or explosion.

  • Strong oxidizing property: strictly avoid contact with reducing agents, strong acids, strong alkalis, sulfur and metal powders.

  • Corrosiveness and toxicity: strongly irritating and corrosive to skin, eyes and the respiratory tract. Skin contact can cause burns, and inhalation of vapor may cause pulmonary edema.

  • Emergency treatment: in case of fire, use water curtain, dry powder or alcohol-resistant foam to extinguish. Small-scale spills should be absorbed with inert materials (such as sand), and organic materials such as sawdust (which may ignite) are strictly prohibited.

5. Storage Recommendations

  • Store in a cool, ventilated dedicated warehouse.

  • Warehouse temperature should generally not exceed 30°C.

  • Keep away from fire sources and heat sources, and prevent direct sunlight.
