Bis(tert-butyldioxyisopropyl)benzene（Cat No.:M005388）is an organic peroxide compound containing two tert-butyldioxyisopropyl groups attached to a benzene ring. It functions as a high-efficiency free radical initiator in polymerization processes, particularly in the production of polyethylene, polypropylene, and other thermoplastics. Its symmetrical structure and bulky peroxide groups provide thermal stability and controlled decomposition, releasing free radicals at elevated temperatures to initiate or crosslink polymer chains. This compound is widely used in industrial applications where consistent polymer properties are required. Proper handling and storage are essential due to its reactive and potentially explosive peroxide content.
