Tert-Amyl Peroxypivalate
Industrial Application
Tert-amyl Peroxypivalate is widely employed in the manufacture of polymers, including PVC, acrylates, and styrenics, where it initiates controlled radical polymerization at moderate temperatures. It is also used in specialty chemical synthesis requiring peroxide-based radical generation.
Physical Properties
Tert-amyl Peroxypivalate is an organic peroxide commonly used as a free-radical initiator in polymerization processes. It appears as a clear to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor and is typically supplied in solution or stabilized form due to its reactivity. The compound is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as hydrocarbons and esters.
