Di(4-tertbutylcyclohexyl) Peroxy Dicarbonate
Industrial Application
Di(4-tert-butylcyclohexyl) Peroxy Dicarbonate is an organic peroxide used primarily as a free-radical initiator in industrial polymerization processes, particularly for vinyl and acrylic monomers. It is valued for its controlled, low-temperature decomposition behavior, which allows efficient initiation of polymerization while maintaining tight control over reaction rates and polymer molecular weight. In the plastics industry, this peroxide is commonly applied in the suspension and emulsion polymerization of PVC, acrylics, and related copolymers, contributing to uniform polymer structure and consistent product quality. Its predictable radical generation also makes it useful in the manufacture of specialty polymers used in coatings and adhesive formulations, where controlled polymer growth enhances film uniformity, adhesion performance, and mechanical properties of the final materials.
Physical Properties
Di(4-tertbutylcyclohexyl) Peroxy Dicarbonate is an organic peroxide appearing as a colorless to pale yellow oily liquid or crystalline solid with a faint odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in many organic solvents. The compound is thermally sensitive and decomposes exothermically at elevated temperatures, releasing free radicals that initiate polymerization of monomers such as vinyl chloride, acrylates, and methacrylates. Proper handling and storage are essential due to its heat and shock sensitivity.
