Application

Diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate is primarily used as a radical initiator for the polymerization of vinyl monomers such as styrene, acrylates, and methacrylates. Its low decomposition temperature makes it suitable for cold-cure applications in adhesives and coatings. The compound is also employed in the production of specialty plastics and elastomers where controlled initiation is critical. Researchers value it for studying polymerization kinetics due to its predictable decomposition profile.
