Description

Bis(2-Ethylhexyl) Peroxycarbonate is a high-purity organic peroxide widely utilized as a polymerization initiator. Its primary value lies in its ability to efficiently generate free radicals at moderate temperatures, enabling controlled and effective polymer synthesis. This product is essential for manufacturers in the polymer and plastics industries, particularly for the production of PVC, polystyrene, and various acrylic resins.

Application

• Primary initiator for the polymerization of vinyl chloride (PVC) in suspension and mass processes.
• Key component in the production of expandable polystyrene (EPS) and other styrenic polymers.
• Used in the synthesis of acrylic resins and methacrylate-based polymers.
• Employed as a cross-linking agent for specific elastomers and polyethylene.
• Facilitates controlled radical polymerization in the manufacture of specialty adhesives and coatings.
• Applied in the production of unsaturated polyester resins for composite materials.

Quality Control

Our Bis(2-Ethylhexyl) Peroxycarbonate is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, active oxygen content, and stability. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are provided 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 sources, sparks, and open flame. Recommended storage temperature is below 25°C (77°F). Keep separated from incompatible materials such as reducing agents, acids, bases, and other organic materials. This product is a light-sensitive (store away from light) strong oxidizer and requires appropriate safety precautions.
