Description

Acetoneperoxides CAS NO 1336-17-0 refers to a class of organic peroxide compounds derived from acetone, primarily used as initiators and cross-linking agents in polymer chemistry. These compounds are critical for controlling the rate and efficiency of polymerization reactions, directly impacting the final properties of plastics, resins, and elastomers. This product is essential for manufacturers in the polymer, adhesive, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable and effective free-radical sources.

Application

• Primary initiator for free-radical polymerization of vinyl monomers like styrene, methyl methacrylate, and vinyl chloride.
• Cross-linking agent for unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) in the production of fiberglass-reinforced plastics (FRP).
• Curing agent for acrylic and silicone-based adhesives and sealants.
• Key component in the synthesis of modified polymers and block copolymers.
• Used in the production of expandable polystyrene (EPS) and other foam materials.
• Employed as a hardening agent in certain composite material formulations.

Quality Control

Our Acetoneperoxides are manufactured under strict process controls to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. The product undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by iodometric titration and identification by FT-IR spectroscopy, to confirm identity, purity, and active oxygen content. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

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 properties as an organic peroxide and being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under recommended inert conditions if specified. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, reducing agents, and heavy metal compounds. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete handling and storage instructions.
