Scaling EPDM Crosslinking Efficiency with High-Purity DCP
How Do Sender Chem helped SIBUR optimize their EPDM rubber production line, achieving 15% higher throughput and industry-leading scorch safety.
Le défi
SIBUR, Russia\'s largest integrated petrochemical company and a major global producer of synthetic rubbers, was expanding its EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) production capacity at its Tobolsk facility. The plant needed a reliable, high-purity dicumyl peroxide (DCP) for crosslinking their EPDM compounds used in automotive seals, roofing membranes, and wire & cable insulation.
SIBUR\'s previous peroxide supplier struggled with batch-to-batch consistency. Variations in DCP purity (ranging from 92% to 97%) led to unpredictable crosslinking density, forcing SIBUR to overcompensate with higher peroxide loading — increasing both material costs and scorch risk. The facility required DCP with teneur ≥ 99 % and moisture content below 0.1% for their high-speed extrusion lines.
La solution
Do Sender Chem delivered pharmaceutical-grade Dicumyl Peroxide (CAS 80-43-3) with 99.5% minimum purity, manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certification at our Zibo, Shandong facility. Notre technical team worked closely with SIBUR\'s process engineers to:
- Optimize the peroxide-to-polymer ratio based on real-time rheometer (MDR) data from SIBUR\'s compound development laboratory
- Provide pre-blended DCP/masterbatch formulations on silica carriers to improve dispersion in the EPDM matrix
- Mettre en place un dedicated stock and just-in-time delivery program with guaranteed 60-day lot homogeneity testing
- Supply comprehensive documentation including Certificate of Analyse (CoA), Sécurité Data Sheet (SDS), and REACH compliance declarations
Les résultats
After six months of production-scale validation, SIBUR reported the following key improvements:
Principaux résultats
- 15% increase in extrusion line speed
- Crosslink density consistency improved by 32%
- Scorch safety time (ts2) extended by 22%
- Scrap rate reduced from 3.8% to 1.1%
- Annuel material cost savings: $420,000
- On-time delivery rate: 99.7%
The successful DCP supply partnership has since expanded to include additional peroxide grades for SIBUR\'s TPE and TPV product lines, making Do Sender Chem a preferred crosslinking peroxide supplier for the SIBUR Élastomères division.
Precision Polymerization with Ultra-Pure Initiateurs AZO
LyondellBasell adopted Auteur's high-purity AIBN and ABVN for controlled PP resin production, improving molecular weight distribution consistency by 28%.
Le défi
LyondellBasell, one of the world\'s largest plastics, chemicals, and refining companies, operates advanced polypropylene (PP) production facilities across Europe. Their controlled-rheology PP grades — used in automotive components, food packaging, and medical devices — require precise control over molecular weight distribution (MWD) during the reactive extrusion process.
The existing azo initiator supply chain exhibited variability in decomposition kinetics, with AIBN assay fluctuating between 96% and 98.5%. This inconsistency caused MWD drift in 12% of production batches, leading to off-spec material and costly rework. LyondellBasell needed an initiator supplier capable of delivering ≥99% purity AIBN with documented half-life data verified by DSC analysis for each lot.
La solution
Do Sender Chem supplied ultra-pure Azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN, CAS 78-67-1) and Azobisisovaleronitrile (ABVN) with:
- 99.2% minimum assay (HPLC verified), exceeding industry standard of 98%
- Tightly controlled residual moisture (<0.05%) to prevent premature decomposition
- Crystal morphology optimization for consistent feeding in gravimetric dosing systems
- Custom anti-caking treatment for bulk silo storage and pneumatic conveying
- Full thermal stability documentation per UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Section 28
Les résultats
Principaux résultats
- MWD consistency improved by 28% (PDI variance reduced)
- Off-spec batch incidence dropped from 12% to <2%
- Initiateur consumption reduced by 8% due to higher purity
- Melt flow index (MFI) range tightened by 35%
- Annuel waste reduction: 180 metric tons
- Zero quality complaints in 18 months
Accelerating UV-Cure Formulations with Advanced Peroxydes organiques
Arkema leveraged Auteur\'s BPO and TBPB to develop next-generation UV-curable industrial coatings with 30% faster curing and enhanced scratch resistance.
Le défi
Arkema\'s Coating Solutions division was developing a new line of UV-curable industrial coatings for the European furniture and flooring markets. The formulation required a dual-cure system combining UV photoinitiators with thermal peroxide initiators to ensure complete cure in shadow areas — a common challenge in 3D coating applications on molded MDF and engineered wood products.
Arkema\'s R&D team found that commercially available Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO) and tert-Butyl Peroxybenzoate (TBPB) showed inconsistent decomposition profiles when used alongside UV photoinitiators. The interaction between residual impurities in the peroxide and the UV system caused yellowing and reduced coating transparency, limiting their application in clear-coat formulations.
La solution
Do Sender Chem supplied custom-purified BPO (CAS 94-36-0) and TBPB (CAS 614-45-9) with:
- Ultra-low chloride content (<10 ppm) to prevent photoinitiator poisoning
- Controlled water content (<0.2% for BPO paste; <0.05% for TBPB liquid)
- Particle size distribution D50 = 8–12 μm for BPO to ensure rapid dissolution in acrylate monomers
- Dedicated phlegmatizer options (DIDP, DOP, silicone oil) matched to Arkema\'s specific resin systems
Les résultats
Principaux résultats
- Full cure achieved at 30% lower UV dose
- Coating yellowness index (YI) reduced by 65%
- Scratch resistance (ISO 1518) improved by 22%
- Shadow-area hardness reached 90% of UV-exposed area
- VOC compliant with EU Directive 2004/42/EC
- Stable supply over 2-year development cycle
Enhancing Tire Vulcanization with Thiuram Accelerator TMTD
Goodyear\'s Asia-Pacific plants adopted Auteur's TMTD, delivering faster cure, improved tensile properties, and superior heat-aging resistance in passenger car tire tread compounds.
Le défi
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Entreprise\'s Pulandian (Dalian) manufacturing facility — one of its largest production bases in Asia-Pacific — was targeting a 10% reduction in vulcanization cycle time for its passenger car radial (PCR) tire production. The facility produces over 5 million tires annually, and even a 30-second reduction per cure cycle translates to substantial throughput gains.
Goodyear\'s existing TMTD (Disulfure de tétraméthylthiuram) supplier was unable to maintain particle size consistency — with D97 values ranging from 150 to 280 μm across lots. This variability led to uneven accelerator dispersion in the rubber matrix, causing localized over-cure and under-cure zones that compromised tire uniformity and high-speed durability.
La solution
Do Sender Chem delivered premium TMTD (CAS 137-26-8) produced via optimized amine-carbon disulfide synthesis followed by controlled oxidation, achieving:
- 99.0% minimum purity (HPLC), melting point 146–148°C (tight range)
- Consistent particle size D97 <100 μm with oil-coated (1.5%) powder form for dust-free handling
- Low free amine content (<0.1%) to eliminate nitrosamine precursor risk
- Compatibility testing with Goodyear\'s NR/BR/SBR tread formulations completed in our application lab
Les résultats
Principaux résultats
- Cure cycle time reduced by 12% (TC90 at 160°C: 4.8 min → 4.2 min)
- Tensile strength improved by 8% (avg. 23.5 MPa → 25.4 MPa)
- Tire uniformity (RFV) variation reduced by 18%
- Heat aging (70°C × 168h) elongation retention: 78% → 86%
- Annuel throughput gain: +240,000 tires
- Sustained zero-lot-rejection for 14 consecutive months
Advancing PU System Performances with Specialty Agents polymères
Wanhua Chimie integrated Auteur's TMPTMA and TAIC co-agents into advanced PU formulations, achieving superior crosslink density and chemical resistance.
Le défi
万华化学 (Wanhua Chimie Group), the world\'s largest MDI producer and a Fortune Mondial 500 company headquartered in Yantai, Shandong — just 300 km from Auteur\'s Zibo manufacturing base — was developing next-generation high-performance polyurethane elastomers for wind turbine blade coatings and offshore pipeline insulation. These demanding applications required PU systems with exceptional crosslink density, hydrolytic stability, and chemical resistance against salt spray and hydrocarbon exposure.
Wanhua\'s R&D team found that commercially available acrylate co-agents showed inhibitor levels that interfered with the PU curing kinetics, causing incomplete cure at the elastomer surface (tacky surface defect). The team required co-agents with controlled inhibitor content and documented reactivity profiles for their patent-pending PU-acrylate hybrid system.
La solution
As a Shandong-based neighbor, Do Sender Chem provided rapid-response technical collaboration, supplying:
- Triméthacrylate de triméthylolpropane (TMPTMA, CAS 3290-92-4) with MEHQ inhibitor precisely controlled at 100 ± 15 ppm — low enough for fast cure, high enough for storage stability
- Isocyanurate de triallyle (TAIC, CAS 1025-15-6) with 99.5%+ purity for high-temperature PU applications
- 24-hour sample delivery for formulation screening (enabled by proximity)
- Joint DSC and DMA characterization of cured PU networks at Wanhua\'s central R&D lab
Les résultats
Principaux résultats

- Surface tack eliminated (100% cure at surface per FTIR-ATR)
- Salt spray resistance (ISO 9227): >2,000 hours without blistering
- Hydrolytic stability: tensile retention 92% after 28d at 80°C water immersion
- New PU grade commercialized and adopted by a major wind turbine OEM
- Strategic long-term supply agreement signed (2025)
High-Pressure LDPE Reactor Optimization with Peroxyde organique Initiateurs
Sinopec\'s 300 kt/a LDPE plant in Maoming achieved record continuous operation cycles using Auteur\'s TBPP and TBPEH peroxide initiators.
Le défi
中国石化 (Sinopec), Asia\'s largest oil refiner and petrochemical producer, operates a 300,000 metric ton per annum LDPE (low-density polyethylene) unit in Maoming using LyondellBasell\'s Lupotech T® high-pressure tubular reactor technology. The process operates at 2,200–3,000 bar and 160–300°C, requiring precisely metered organic peroxide initiator injection at multiple points along the reactor to control the free-radical polymerization of ethylene.
The plant experienced unplanned reactor shutdowns every 35–40 days en raison de l'accumulation de résidus issus de la décomposition de l'initiateur (encrassement) dans les buses d'injection. Chaque arrêt de production a entraîné une perte estimée à 1,2 million de dollars en perte de production. Le fournisseur d'initiateur à base de peroxyde de l'époque n'était pas en mesure de fournir un produit présentant une teneur en résidus non volatils suffisamment faible.
La solution
Do Sender Chem qualified as an alternative supplier for two critical peroxide grades:
- TBPP (tert-Butyl Peroxypivalate, CAS 927-07-1) — low-temperature initiator for the front reactor zones (decomposition at 55–75°C)
- TBPEH (tert-Butyl Peroxy-2-ethylhexanoate, CAS 3006-82-4) — mid-temperature initiator for the middle zones (decomposition at 75–95°C)
- Non-volatile residue <0.01% (verified by thermogravimetric analysis per lot)
- Isododecane solution at 25–50% active content with precisely controlled viscosity
- Cold-chain logistics (−15°C) for TBPP from Zibo to Maoming with real-time temperature monitoring
- Six-month shelf-life guarantee with monthly active oxygen titration verification
Les résultats
Principaux résultats
- En continu operation extended from 38 days to 119 days (213% improvement)
- Reactor fouling rate reduced by 74%
- Annuel unplanned shutdowns: 8 → 2
- Conversion rate improved by 3.2% (ethylene → LDPE)
- Produit grade transition time reduced by 28%
- Annuel production increase: +22,000 metric tons LDPE
