Trigonox D-C50 is an efficient initiator (50% active ingredient in odorless mineral spirits) for the production of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE). It is used for both tubular and autoclave processes. In most cases a combination with other peroxides is used to ensure a broad reactivity range. CAS number: 2167-23-9 EINECS/ELINCS No: 218-507-2 Applications: Polymerization of styrene Trigonox D-C50 can be used for the suspension polymerization and copolymerization of styrene in the temperature range between 90°C and 130°C. During polymerization the temperature is increased in steps. A comparison is made between thermally and Trigonox D initiated (0. 08 mmole/100 g styrene) polymerization of styrene in a mass process, applying a typical temperature scheme (110-140-180°C).
