2-Methylpentane-2,4-diyl diacetate（Cat No.:M124085）, also known as diacetone peroxide (DADP), is a peroxide compound with the molecular formula C10H18O4. It is a white crystalline solid that is sensitive to heat, shock, and friction, making it a potentially hazardous compound. DADP is mainly used as a chemical initiator in polymerization reactions, particularly in the production of polyester resins and polymer foams. It decomposes upon heating to form free radicals, which initiate the polymerization process.
