Key Properties & Specifications
- Chemical family: Ester Peroxide
- CAS number: 614-45-9
- Physical form: Liquid
- Decomposition temperature: 100-170°C
- Active oxygen content: 8.2%
- Molecular weight: 194.23
How It Works
As an organic peroxide, tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB) decomposes by homolytic cleavage when heated near 100-170°C, generating free radicals. These radicals initiate the polymerization or crosslinking of unsaturated monomers (such as styrene, acrylates, vinyls and unsaturated polyester resins), making it a core radical initiator for thermoset and polymer manufacturing.
Primary Applications
Perodox C is applied across Acrylic Resin, PS, ABS, UPR. Typical market segments include Polymer Production, Thermoset Composites.
Its performance profile makes it a trusted choice for formulators who need reproducible,
high-purity raw materials.
Safety, Handling & Storage
