Applications

Application	Description
Polymerization Initiator	Common initiator for ethylene polymerization, suitable for batch and tubular processes. Also suitable for acrylate and methacrylate polymerization, with a temperature range of 80-150°C.
Styrene Polymerization	Superior activity compared to BPO for styrene polymerization; can be used in combination with other peroxides like TBPB and TBEC.
Vinyl Acetate (EVA) Copolymer	Important initiator for EVA copolymerization.
Curing Agent for Unsaturated Polyester	High-temperature curing agent for unsaturated polyesters, with curing temperatures of 120-160°C. Primarily used in UP hot press molding (DMC, BMC) processes, also used with cobalt-based accelerators for air-dry coatings and filament winding processes at 60°C.

Packaging and Transport
