Description

Bis(1-Hydroxyheptyl)Peroxide is a dialkyl peroxide compound, a member of the organic peroxide family known for its role as a radical initiator and cross-linking agent. Its value lies in its ability to decompose at moderate temperatures to generate free radicals, making it a critical component in polymerization and material modification processes. This chemical is essential for manufacturers in the polymer, plastics, and specialty chemical industries seeking efficient initiators for resin production and polymer cross-linking.

Application

• Primary free radical initiator for the polymerization of monomers like styrene, vinyl chloride, and acrylates.
• Cross-linking agent for polyethylene (PE) and other polymers to enhance thermal and mechanical properties.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of specialty chemicals and fine organic compounds.
• Used in the production of unsaturated polyester resins for composites and fiberglass.
• Component in formulations for elastomer vulcanization and rubber curing processes.
• Potential use in controlled polymer modification and grafting reactions.

Quality Control

Our production of Bis(1-Hydroxyheptyl)Peroxide adheres to stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for industrial processes. Each lot is analyzed for critical parameters including purity, active oxygen content, and impurity profile. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile, it is recommended to keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) and at temperatures not exceeding 25°C (77°F). Isolate from incompatible materials such as strong reducing agents, acids, bases, and metals.
