Application

Tert-butyl cumene peroxide is primarily used as a free-radical initiator in the polymerization of styrene, acrylics, and other vinyl monomers. It is favored in the production of thermoset resins and elastomers due to its controlled decomposition kinetics. Additionally, it serves as a crosslinking agent in polyethylene and other polyolefin modifications. This peroxide is also utilized in organic synthesis for radical-mediated transformations.
