Di(2-ethylhexyl) Peroxy Dicarbonate
Industrial Application
Di(2-ethylhexyl) Peroxy Dicarbonate is primarily used as a polymerization initiator in the production of PVC, acrylics, and other vinyl-based polymers, where it enables efficient free-radical generation at low to moderate processing temperatures. It is also employed in copolymerization reactions that require precise control over radical initiation, supporting uniform polymer chain growth and consistent molecular weight distribution. Due to its predictable decomposition rate, Di(2-ethylhexyl) Peroxy Dicarbonate is particularly valuable in the manufacture of high-quality plastics as well as polymer-based coatings and adhesives, where controlled polymerization contributes to improved film formation, adhesion strength, and overall performance of the finished materials.
Physical Properties
Di(2-ethylhexyl) Peroxy Dicarbonate is an organic peroxide appearing as a colorless to pale yellow oily liquid. It is thermally unstable at elevated temperatures and must be stored at low temperatures (typically below -20 °C) to prevent premature decomposition. It has a low flash point and releases free radicals exothermically upon decomposition, which underlies its effectiveness as a radical initiator in polymerization processes.
