Description

1,1-Bis(T-Hexylperoxy) Cyclohexane is a high-purity organic peroxide widely recognized for its role as a free radical initiator in polymerization processes. Its controlled decomposition kinetics make it a critical component for achieving specific polymer properties and reaction rates. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the polymer, resin, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable and efficient cross-linking or polymerization initiators.

Application

• Polymerization Initiator: Primarily used as a free-radical initiator for the polymerization of ethylene, styrene, (meth)acrylates, and other vinyl monomers.
• Cross-linking Agent: Employed in the cross-linking of unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) for the production of fiberglass-reinforced plastics (FRP), gel coats, and sheet molding compounds (SMC).
• Curing Agent for Elastomers: Used in the vulcanization and curing of silicone and other specialty elastomers to enhance thermal and mechanical properties.
• Organic Synthesis: Serves as an oxidizing agent or radical source in specific organic synthesis reactions in fine chemical and pharmaceutical intermediate production.
• Adhesive & Coating Formulations: Incorporated into formulations for heat-cured adhesives, coatings, and inks where controlled, thermally-induced curing is required.

Quality Control

Our 1,1-Bis(T-Hexylperoxy) Cyclohexane is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, active oxygen content, and stability. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay results, impurity profiles, and physical properties is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and 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 nature as a strong oxidizer and highly volatile compound, it must be segregated from reducing agents, acids, bases, and other incompatible materials. Recommended storage temperature is below 25°C (77°F).
