Overview
EHP is a low-temperature peroxydicarbonate initiator used for the polymerization of vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, ethylene and acrylates, and as a curing agent for unsaturated polyester resins. Its 10-hour half-life temperature of 47°C makes it suitable for low-temperature PVC suspension processes and for cold-cure resin systems, where it delivers rapid initiation without the discolouration associated with higher-temperature peroxides.
