Di-tert-butyl peroxyoxalate (Cat No.:M121898) is a chemical compound commonly used as a radical initiator in the polymer industry. It belongs to the family of organic peroxides, characterized by a peroxide bond (-O-O-) linking two organic groups. DTBPO is particularly valued for its ability to initiate the polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates at relatively low temperatures, making it suitable for use in various polymerization processes, including the production of plastics, adhesives, and coatings. Upon decomposition, DTBPO generates alkoxyl and carbon dioxide radicals, which initiate the polymerization reaction, leading to the formation of crosslinked polymer networks.
