The invention provides a stabilised peroxide composition. The composition comprises succinyl peroxide admixed with a water-soluble stabilising agent which can function as a dehydrating agent but which does not react with succinyl peroxide, typically an inorganic compound in a partially hydrated form, which gives an acid pH in solution, for example, a partial hydrate of sodium or magnesium sulphate. The composition can be prepared by treating a paste of succinyl peroxide in water with a water-soluble dehydrating agent which does not react with succinyl peroxide, the dehydrating agent being employed in an amount sufficient to provide a dry mixture. The composition of the invention can be stored at ambient temperature with minimal decomposition. |
