• Tert-Butyl Peroxyneodecanoate - Perodox® 23

    CAS: 26748-41-4

    An initiator for the (co)polymerization of ethylene, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, (meth)acrylates and diethylene glycol bis(allyl carbonate) based optical monomers.

  • Product Overview

    Perodox® 23 is an efficient initiator for the production

    of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE). It is used both for

    tubular and autoclave processes. In most cases a

    combination with other peroxides is used to ensure a

    broad reactivity range. Perodox® 23 can also be used

    for the polymerization of diethylene glycol

    di(allylcarbonate) based optical monomers. The use

    level of Perodox® 23 will depend on the particular cure

    parameters being used. Perodox® 23 has an activity in

    between peroxydicarbonates and tert-Butyl

    peroxypivalate (Perodox® 25). Perodox® 23 can be

    applied as an initiator for the suspension polymerization

    of vinyl chloride in the temperature range 50-65°C. The

    obtained polymer has a good thermal stability.

    tert-Butyl peroxyneodecanoate (TBPND), also known as BNP or TBPD, is an organic peroxide compound widely used as a radical initiator in polymer chemistry. It serves as a medium-temperature initiator for various polymerization processes with excellent decomposition characteristics.
