Organic Peroxides / Hydroperoxides

Luperox ®

Identification

Luperox ® CU80 polymer initiator

  • Luperox® CU80 polymer initiator is used with polyester or acrylic resins for composites applications. The recommended use is for medium and high curing temperatures, where slow gelling and low exotherm are required, especially with high-reactivity resins.

Luperox ® DH (Luperox ® DIBHP)

  • Luperox® DH polymer initiator and Luperox® DIBHP polymer initiator are solutions of di-isopropylbenzene hydroperoxide for use in polymer synthesis. Applications include solution or emulsion acrylic polymerization or the redox process for production of styrene butadiene rubber or copolymers.

Luperox ® TAH polymer initiator

  • Luperox® TAH polymer initiator is available as a 75% or 85% active weight solution in water and organic solvent. Luperox® TAH has the highest active oxygen content of any tertiary-amyl initiator, and is water soluble making it a good choice for water-borne acrylics synthesis. The t-amyl radical is also very efficient, leading to improved monomer conversion and narrower polydispersity.

Luperox ® TBH70X

  • Luperox® TBH70X polymer initiator is a water-soluble high temperature initiator for use in synthesis of water-borne coatings resins. Luperox®TBH70X has good elevated temperature stability during polymerization, making it a good choice for monomers with higher boiling points.

Applications

  • Filament winding
  • Infusion
  • Molding compounds
  • Pultrusion
  • Resin transfer molding

Advantages

  • Luperox® tertiary-butyl and tertiary-amyl hydroperoxides are widely used as chemical intermediates and as free radical polymerization initiators.
