Description

Bis(4-tert-Butylcyclohexyl) Peroxydicarbonate is a high-purity organic peroxide initiator widely used in industrial polymerization processes. Its primary value lies in its ability to decompose at moderate temperatures to generate free radicals, efficiently initiating the polymerization of monomers like vinyl chloride and ethylene. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the plastics and polymer industries seeking to produce high-quality polyvinyl chloride (PVC), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and other specialty resins. Its specific structure offers advantages in process control and final polymer properties.

Application

• Primary Initiator for PVC Production: A key component in the suspension and bulk polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) to manufacture polyvinyl chloride resins.
• LDPE Manufacturing: Used as a free-radical initiator in the high-pressure autoclave or tubular processes for producing low-density polyethylene.
• Cross-linking Agent: Employed in the cross-linking of polymers and elastomers to enhance thermal and mechanical properties.
• Curing Agent for Unsaturated Polyester Resins: Facilitates the room-temperature or heat-activated curing of resins in fiberglass and composite materials.
• Synthesis of Acrylic Polymers: Initiates the polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and other acrylates for sheets, molding powders, and coatings.
• Production of Specialty Copolymers: Used in the synthesis of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers and other specialty materials.
