Description

Acetoneperoxides CAS NO 1073-91-2 is a class of organic peroxide compounds, primarily known for their role as initiators in polymerization reactions. These compounds are critical for controlling the rate and efficiency of free-radical processes in industrial manufacturing. They are essential for producers of specialty polymers, resins, and in various chemical synthesis applications where precise initiation is required.

Application

• Polymerization Initiator: Primary use as a free-radical initiator for the production of polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), acrylics, and other polymers.
• Cross-linking Agent: Used in the curing and cross-linking of unsaturated polyester resins for fiberglass-reinforced plastics and composites.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as an oxidizing agent or radical source in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals.
• Adhesive & Coating Production: Employed in the formulation of adhesives, sealants, and coatings to initiate curing reactions.
• Rubber Vulcanization: Acts as a curing agent in the vulcanization process for certain synthetic rubbers.

Quality Control

Our Acetoneperoxides are manufactured under stringent process controls to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, purity, and stability assessments. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under appropriate conditions, separate from reducing agents, acids, and bases. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for specific handling and storage instructions.
