Applications
Perkadox BC-A50 is used for the crosslinking of natural and synthetic rubbers, as well as thermoplastic polyolefins. Rubber compounds containing Perkadox BC-A50 have good processing safety with a moderate rate of cure. Safe processing temperature (rheometer ts2 > 20 minutes): 130°C. Typical crosslink temperature (rheometer t90 about 12 minutes): 170°C. Data were determined by means of a rheometer in an EPDM-based test compound.
