Product Description
Trigonox® 117 is a pure peroxide in liquid form, specifically tert-Butylperoxy 2-ethylhexyl carbonate. Here are its key applications:
◦ Polymer Production:
◦ Trigonox® 117 serves as an initiator for the polymerization and copolymerization of styrene in the temperature range between 100°C and 130°C.
◦ Applications include LDPE and polystyrene production.
◦ Polymer Crosslinking:
◦ Trigonox® 117 is used to crosslink elastomers at intermediate temperatures (typical crosslink temperature: 150°C).
◦ Thermoset Composites:
◦ Trigonox® 117 acts as an aliphatic percarbonate for curing unsaturated polyester resins at elevated temperature
