Benzoyl Peroxide (CAS 94-36-0) is an organic peroxide material supplied as a white crystalline solid or stabilized paste. It functions primarily as a free-radical initiator for polymer chemistry and as a controlled oxidizing agent in specialty formulations. Commercial grades are tailored for polymer producers, coatings formulators and laboratories with documented COA and handling guidance.
Application
- Polymerization initiator
Used as a free-radical initiator for the polymerization of styrenics, acrylates, vinyl and other monomers in bulk, solution and emulsion processes. - Crosslinking and curing agent
Employed as an initiator or curing component in thermoset resin systems and crosslinkable formulations to develop desired network properties. - Specialty oxidation & chemical processing
Used in controlled oxidative steps and specialty syntheses where a solid organic peroxide is required as the oxidant. - Surface treatment & etch processes
Applied in selective surface-treatment formulations and speciality cleaning/etch chemistries requiring controlled oxidative action. - Analytical reagent & laboratory use
Provided in small, certified packs for method development, polymer research and QC testing.
