I am trying to find out what type of conditions and chemistry would degrade pTSA. The conditions that the pTSA is exposed to is <130oC at atomospheric pressure. Is there information out there on rates of degredation of pTSA due to P&T conditions? Are there certain organic chemicals/compounds that can decompose pTSA in those conditions described above such as small acetyl, propnyls, butyl molecules (i.e.- propyl acetates, butyl butyrates, formic acid, etc.)? Can anyone out there help me?
