Description

Oo-tert-Butyl o-Cyclohexyl Peroxycarbonate is a specialized organic peroxide used as a high-performance initiator for polymerization reactions. This compound is valued for its ability to decompose at controlled temperatures, generating free radicals that efficiently initiate the polymerization of monomers like styrene, vinyl chloride, and acrylates. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the polymer, plastics, and specialty chemical industries seeking to produce materials with specific molecular weights and properties.

Application

• Polymerization Initiator: Primarily used as a free-radical initiator for the bulk, suspension, and solution polymerization of vinyl monomers such as styrene, methyl methacrylate (MMA), and vinyl acetate.
• Plastics Manufacturing: Essential in the production of polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and acrylic polymers (PMMA), where it controls the polymerization rate and final polymer characteristics.
• Resin Synthesis: Employed in the synthesis of unsaturated polyester resins and other thermosetting polymers for composites and coatings.
• Crosslinking Agent: Used to initiate crosslinking reactions in the production of elastomers and certain polyethylene compounds.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a reagent in organic synthesis for introducing peroxy functional groups.
• Foam Production: Can be utilized as an initiator in the production of expandable polystyrene (EPS) foams.

Quality Control

Our Oo-tert-Butyl o-Cyclohexyl Peroxycarbonate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, active oxygen content, and stability. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available for 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 flames. Keep away from reducing agents, strong acids, bases, and other incompatible materials. Recommended storage temperature is below 25°C (77°F). This product is a strong oxidizer and light-sensitive (store away from light); appropriate safety protocols for handling organic peroxides must be observed.
