Another name: 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di-tert-butyl peroxide hexane,Initiator 101
CAS No.: 78-63-7
Molecular formula: C16H34O4
Molecular-weight: 290.4
Brief introduction:
2,5-Dimethyl-2,5-di(tert-butylperoxy)hexane is a low volatile, yellowish transparent liquid, which is a dialkyl organic peroxide. Isododecane, hexane and other diluted minerals are available. Or it can be diluted with the solvent specified by the customer. It can also be diluted with inorganic compounds or polypropylene powder.
Main uses:
1. Polymer cross-linking agent: it is an organic peroxide cross-linking agent widely applicable to a variety of polymers, especially for polyethylene (LDPE, HDPE) and polymerization cross-linking agent of ethylene / vinyl acetate co-polymer. The cross-linking temperature is above 170 ℃, and there is no cross-linking effect below 140 ℃. The dosage is 0.5% - 3% (w / W). In some materials that are not easy to cross-link, the dosage is generally 1% - 5%.
2. It is a high-temperature vulcanizing agent for vinyl silicone rubber: at the same time, it is an excellent vulcanizing agent for other kinds of rubber. The rubber vulcanized with this product has the outstanding advantages of high tensile strength and high hardness.
3. It is an excellent degradation agent for Polypropylene Degradation: the degradation temperature is 200 ~ 220 ℃, and the dosage is 0.01 ~ 0.1%. Rheological polypropylene with low molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution and high melt index can be made. It can be used as an important initiator for high-speed spinning, coating, film and cast plastics. It is the preferred raw material for the production of cooling master-batch.
4. It is a high temperature curing agent for unsaturated polyester.
