How It Works
As an organic peroxide, tert-Butyl peroxy isopropyl carbonate decomposes by homolytic cleavage when heated near 65-80°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 131 is applied across Pultrusion, Continuous Lamination. Typical market segments include Thermoset Composites, Building and Construction.
Its performance profile makes it a trusted choice for formulators who need reproducible,
high-purity raw materials.
