3,5-Diisopropylbenzene hydroperoxide Usage
As an initiator for styrene-butadiene rubber polymerization, the initiation rate is 30%-50% faster than cumene peroxide but slower than triisopropylbenzene peroxide and tert-butyl cumene peroxide.
It can also be used as an initiator for other polymers.
3,5-Diisopropylbenzene hydroperoxide (CAS 26762-93-6) is primarily used as an initiator for polymerization, particularly in the production of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). It can also be used as a curing agent for polyester resins.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
-
Polymerization Initiator:
3,5-Diisopropylbenzene hydroperoxide acts as a source of free radicals that initiate the polymerization of monomers, like styrene and butadiene, to form polymers.
-
Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) Production:
It’s a common initiator for the polymerization of SBR, a widely used synthetic rubber.
-
Other Polymers:
It can also be used as an initiator for the polymerization of other monomers like acrylonitrile, acrylates, and methacrylates.
-
Curing Agent:
In some applications, it acts as a curing agent for polyester resins, promoting the cross-linking of polymer chains to improve material properties.
-
Initiation Rate:
While its initiation rate for SBR is faster than cumene hydroperoxide, it’s slower than triisopropylbenzene peroxide and tert-butyl cumene peroxide.
-
Cold Emulsion Polymerization:
It’s particularly suited for cold emulsion polymerization of rubber latexes
