Description

1,1-Di(tert-Butylperoxy)Cyclohexane is a high-purity organic peroxide widely used as a polymerization initiator and crosslinking agent. Its controlled decomposition kinetics make it a critical component for achieving specific polymer properties and reaction rates. This product is essential for manufacturers in the polymer, rubber, and specialty plastics industries seeking reliable and efficient free-radical initiation.

Application

• Polymerization Initiator for the production of polyethylene (LDPE), polystyrene, and acrylic resins.
• Crosslinking Agent for unsaturated polyester resins and silicone rubbers to enhance thermal and mechanical properties.
• Curing Agent in the manufacture of fiberglass-reinforced plastics (FRP) and composite materials.
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate for introducing peroxide functionalities in specialty chemical synthesis.
• Modifier for Polymer Properties, used to control molecular weight and branching during polymerization processes.

Quality Control

Our 1,1-Di(tert-Butylperoxy)Cyclohexane is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, active oxygen content, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant industry standards and our quality protocols are designed to meet the stringent requirements of polymer production.

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 metallic salts. Recommended storage temperature is below 30°C (86°F). This product is a strong oxidizer and light-sensitive (store away from light); appropriate segregation from incompatible materials is essential.
