- TBPD is an effective low-temperature initiator used in tubular processes for producing low-density polyethylene (LDPE). It performs well when combined with other initiators like LQ-TBPV (tert-butyl peroxyvalerate), LQ-TBPEH (tert-butyl peroxy 2-ethylhexanoate), and LQ-TBPB (tert-butyl peroxybenzoate), enhancing polymerization efficiency.
- Serves as a reliable high-temperature curing agent for unsaturated polyester resins, widely applied in the production of resins and related materials.
- This chemical compound is also used as an initiator in the polymerization of vinyl chloride, styrene, and their copolymers, as well as for methacrylates and vinyl acetate.
-
Packaging
TBPD is available in standard 20 kg polyethylene drums, but customized sizes can be provided based on specific customer requests.
-
Validity
If stored correctly, TBPD remains stable and maintains its performance standards for up to three months.
-
Safe Handling
Ensure the product is stored in a well-ventilated, cool space where the temperature remains below -10°C. This minimizes the risk of decomposition or hazardous reactions.
Keep the storage area free from heat sources, open flames, and electrical sparks. Proper ventilation helps to prevent the buildup of potentially hazardous fumes.
Store the product away from substances like acids, reducing agents, and other incompatible materials to avoid dangerous reactions.
Handle the product with care, avoiding strong impacts, friction, or rough handling that could damage the containers. Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) during handling.
Be sure to thoroughly review the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provided by the manufacturer before transporting or using this peroxide. Follow all recommended safety measures and procedures.
