Dicumyl Peroxide is an organic dialkyl peroxide commonly used for cross-linking/curing of elastomers and plastomers, as well as being used as a polymerization initiator for polystyrene and as a curing agent for unsaturated polyesters.
As a replacement for sulfur, it is the curing agent most commonly used in the most diverse rubber industries; when there is no need to produce odorless artifacts, for having a good cure speed and mainly low cost when compared to other types of organic peroxides.
Characteristics of conventional dicumyl peroxide
Main characteristics:
- Good cross-linking/curing speed;
- High cross-linking/curing yield;
- Characteristic odor in the product;
- Good safety to pre-cross-linking/curing;
- Maximum mixing temperature: 135ºC;
- Ideal cross-linking temperature: 179ºC;
- Stable peroxide.
