Di-tert-butyl Peroxide, often abbreviated as DTBP, is a colorless, oily liquid with a faint characteristic odor. It is a highly reactive organic peroxide, synthesized through a series of oxidation reactions using tert-butyl alcohol as the primary raw material.
DTBP is soluble in most organic solvents such as alcohols, ethers and hydrocarbons, but is almost insoluble in water. It has excellent thermal stability under normal storage conditions, but will decompose rapidly and release a large amount of heat when exposed to high temperatures, strong acids, strong bases or heavy metal ions, which may lead to combustion or explosion. As a classic organic initiator and crosslinking agent, it has been widely used in the petrochemical, polymer and rubber industries, valued for its high efficiency and controllable reaction performance.

Core Functions of Di-tert-butyl Peroxide

  1. Free radical polymerization initiatorThis is the most important application of DTBP. It can decompose to generate free radicals at a specific temperature, which can initiate the polymerization reaction of a variety of olefin monomers, such as ethylene, propylene, styrene and acrylic esters. It is especially suitable for high-temperature polymerization processes, and can produce polymers with uniform molecular weight distribution and stable performance, which are widely used in the production of plastics, synthetic fibers and resin materials.
  2. Crosslinking agent for polymers and rubberDTBP can act as a crosslinking agent for polyolefins, synthetic rubber and other polymer materials. During the processing of these materials, it can promote the formation of cross-linked network structures between polymer molecular chains, thereby significantly improving the mechanical strength, heat resistance, weather resistance and chemical corrosion resistance of the products. This function makes it widely used in the production of modified plastics, rubber seals, wire and cable insulation layers, and other high-performance products.
  3. Oxidant and curing agent in organic synthesisIn organic synthesis reactions, DTBP can serve as a mild and selective oxidant, which can oxidize specific functional groups of organic compounds without damaging other sensitive groups, thus preparing high-purity fine chemical products. It can also be used as a curing agent for thermosetting resins such as epoxy resins and unsaturated polyesters, accelerating the curing process of resins and improving the comprehensive performance of cured products.
  4. Additive for fuel and lubricating oilAdding a small amount of DTBP to fuel or lubricating oil can improve the combustion efficiency of fuel and the oxidation stability of lubricating oil. In fuel, it can promote more complete combustion of fuel and reduce the emission of harmful substances; in lubricating oil, it can inhibit the oxidative degradation of oil products at high temperatures, extend the service life of lubricating oil and protect mechanical components from wear and corrosion.
