Applications
Polymerization of vinyl chloride: Perkadox 26 is applied as an initiator for the suspension and mass polymerization of vinyl chloride in the temperature range of 40-65°C. For Thermoset: Perkadox 26 is a peroxydicarbonate used for elevated temperature curing of unsaturated polyester, vinyl ester, acrylate and methacrylate resins. The activation temperature of Perkadox 26 is 45°C (113°F) indicating a need for a minimum processing temperature of 75°C (167°F).
