Which consequence results when excessive heat causes methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) decomposition?

💡 Explanation

Runaway chain branching polymerization occurs, because heat accelerates MEKP decomposition initiating chain reactions, therefore rapid crosslinking solidifies resin much faster than designed, rather than entropy decrease since more free radicals form with heating.
