If you need fast and efficient assistance for your problems with organic peroxide as polymerization initiator, you are welcome to use TechDirect, our free
technical assistance service provided by an expert in this field.
Polymerization of monomers can be done by various type of mechanisms,
among them Free radical chemistry is extensively used for polymerization
of monomers containing double bonds in order to produce polymers like
low density polyethylene (LDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), poly(meth)acrylates,
polystyrene, polybutadiene and copolymers.
To initiate the polymerization a source of free radical is required.
In most cases organic peroxides are
used as the source of free radicals making selection of the peroxide is
crucial for good control of the reaction and final properties
of the polymer.
In this Polymerisation Initiators Center, we offer you the following items:
Some examples of applications, particularly in polymers like LDPE,
PVC, PS.
A recommendation guide will help in making the right choice for specific polymerization.
In polypropylene production, organic peroxides can be used to adjust the rheology
at finishing step. An overview of this technology is described. (PP
