Application
Bis(2,4-dichlorobenzoyl) peroxide is primarily used as a free-radical initiator in the polymerization of vinyl monomers, such as styrene and acrylates. It is also employed in the curing of unsaturated polyester resins and as a crosslinking agent for elastomers. This peroxide is valued for its controlled decomposition rate, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. Additionally, it finds use in specialty chemical synthesis where selective radical generation is required.
