Since 2013, Jiangyin Thousands Chemicals have been one of the world’s leading suppliers of organic peroxides. With extensive experience and a strong focus on innovation, this enables us to deeply understand market needs, continuously improve product quality, and meet customer expectations.
What-are-Organic-Peroxides
Organic peroxides’ hydrogen abstraction reaction capabilities make them valuable as crosslinking agents for different synthetic rubbers and synthetic resins. Additionally, they can function as fluidity modifiers for polypropylene and agents for grafting maleic anhydride to polyolefins. Organic peroxides play a crucial role in various chemical and industrial processes due to their ability to initiate and facilitate polymerization, crosslinking, and other essential reactions in the production of a wide range of materials.
Most organic peroxides are colorless to light yellow liquids, or white powder to crystalline solids. It is generally weakly acidic, mostly insoluble in water, and easily soluble in organic solvents such as phthalic acid and dimethyl vinegar. It is an unstable, flammable and explosive compound.
The hydrogen atoms in hydrogen peroxide are replaced by organic groups such as alkyl groups, acyl groups, and aromatic groups to form organic compounds containing -O-O-peroxy functional groups. The characteristic is that when heated above a certain temperature, it will decompose to produce oxygen-containing free radicals, which is unstable and easy to decompose. Organic peroxides produced in the chemical industry are mainly used as polymerization initiators and catalysts for synthetic resins. In the field of polymer materials, it can be used as an initiator for free radical polymerization, an initiator for grafting reaction, a cross-linking agent for rubber and plastics, a curing agent for unsaturated polyester, and a molecular weight and molecular weight in the preparation of spinning-grade polypropylene. Molecular weight distribution regulator.
Polluted air in the environment can produce peroxynitrate compounds through free radical reactions under the action of light, which is one of the photochemical oxidants. It is highly irritating to skin, eyes and mucous membranes and is an important pollutant in the atmosphere. Such substances are flammable and explosive dangerous goods, and safety should be paid attention to when using them. Generally, the four indicators of active oxygen content, activation energy, half-life and decomposition temperature are used as the basic basis for selection.
Due to their potential hazards, the storage and handling of organic peroxides are regulated, and specific safety measures are in place to mitigate the risks associated with these compounds. It’s essential to be knowledgeable about the specific organic peroxide you are working with and to follow safety guidelines and regulations to ensure safe handling and use.
