Cyclohexylidenebis[tert-amyl] peroxide is a liquid organic peroxide with the core characteristic of high decomposition temperature.This makes it particularly suitable for polymerization or crosslinking reactions that require high temperatures to initiate, providing an efficient and controllable source of free radicals for many industrial applications.
The main product characteristics as below
High thermal stability
The half-life temperature for 1 hour is about 142 ° C, the half-life temperature for 10 hours is about 124 ° C, and the self accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT) is about 55 ° C
Processing safety
High half-life temperature keeps it stable in the early processing stage (usually<120 ° C), effectively avoiding premature decomposition and burning in extruders or mixing equipment.
It is strictly prohibited to use it on any products that may come into contact with the human body or food.

Application
Insulation and sheath of wires and cables
As an efficient crosslinking agent for polyethylene (PE), the long-term heat resistance level, environmental stress cracking resistance, and mechanical strength of cables are significantly improved through "post irradiation heat activation" or high-temperature extrusion processes.

High performance engineering plastics
Used for the modification of special engineering plastics such as polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), enhancing their dimensional stability and chemical resistance in harsh environments such as high-temperature filtration through surface or bulk cross-linking.

Special rubber products
Suitable for high-temperature vulcanization of some silicone rubber in non-medical and non food contact fields to improve its compression set and other properties.
