How It Works
As an organic peroxide, Di(2,4-dichlorobenzoyl) peroxide decomposes by homolytic cleavage when heated near 65-75°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 PD is applied across FRP, UPR, Marine Composites. Typical market segments include Thermoset Composites, Marine and Transportation.
Its performance profile makes it a trusted choice for formulators who need reproducible,
high-purity raw materials.
