Di-(2-ethylhexyl)peroxydicarbonate（Cat No.:M074111）, commonly known as di(2-ethylhexyl)peroxydicarbonate or DEHPC, is an organic peroxide compound extensively used as a radical initiator in polymerization reactions. Its chemical structure features two peroxydicarbonate functional groups (-CO3-) bound to two 2-ethylhexyl groups. DEHPC acts as a source of free radicals, initiating the polymerization of unsaturated monomers in the production of polymers like polyethylene and polypropylene. Additionally, it finds application in cross-linking reactions to modify polymer properties.
