| Product Description: Akrochem VCP is an organic dialkyl peroxide chemically identified as t-butylperoxy-diisopropyl benzene and is used as a cross-linking agent for synthetic and natural elastomers and polyolefins such as polyethylene and ethylene vinyl acetate. This peroxide is noted for its low odor and high reactivity at medium-high processing and curing temperatures (see half-life times below). SADT (self accelerating decomposition temperature) is 80°C and the safe processing temperature (ts2>20 mins.) is 135°C. Store this peroxides as close to room temperature as possible. Applications: Akrochem VCP peroxide is used as a catalyst for cross-linking any synthetic or natural elastomer or polyolefin that can be cured with peroxides. The advantages of VCP peroxide over TMC (1,1 bis(tbutylperoxy) 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane) and DCP (dicumyl peroxide) are: higher cross-linking efficiency, low odor and longer scorch times. The powdered or granular forms provide ease of handling and weighing accuracy. Information provided by Akrochem Corporation |
