Applications
VINYLCHLORIDE: Initiator for the polymerisation of vinylchloride in bulk or suspension. Temperature range: 45-60°C. Dosage level: 0.03-0.15% as supplied. Particular advantages: less crust formation in the reactor, less "fish-eyes" in the polymer. We recommend a combination with thermally more stable peroxides, e.g. Dilauroyl peroxide (LP). A well-balanced combination produces an almost constant rate of polymerisation throughout the reaction period. The flakes enable almost dust-free handling (pouring, dosing).
