Tert-Butyl Peroxyisobutyrate
Industrial Application
Tert-Butyl Peroxyisobutyrate is primarily employed as a polymerization initiator for acrylic resins, styrenics, and PVC, as well as in cross-linking reactions for thermoset resins and elastomers. Its controlled decomposition at moderate temperatures makes it particularly useful for processes requiring precise initiation and curing.
Physical Properties
Tert-Butyl Peroxyisobutyrate is an organic peroxide commonly used as a free-radical initiator in industrial polymerization processes. It appears as a clear to pale yellow liquid with a faint characteristic odor and is moderately soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water.
