Overview
BPDH is a high-temperature peroxide crosslinking agent used in: • XLPE wire and cable crosslinking (especially for high-voltage cables) • Silicone rubber vulcanization • EPDM crosslinking for automotive seals and hoses • Polypropylene degradation to controlled molecular weight • Rotational molding of polyethylene BPDH has one of the highest 10h half-life temperatures among common peroxides (128°C), enabling processing at very high temperatures without premature crosslinking.
