Market Segments

Polymer production

Detailed description

Trigonox® 42S is an efficient initiator for the ethylene polymerization under high pressure in both autoclave and tubular processes. To obtain a wide spectrum of polymerization temperatures, combinations with other peroxides are applied in practice. Depending on reaction conditions, Trigonox® 42S is active in the temperature range of 210-240°C. Trigonox® 42S can be used as initiator for the solution (co)polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates in the temperature range of 90-175°C, amongst others for the manufacture of coatings. Trigonox® 42S can also be applied as an initiator for the bulk and suspension (co)polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates in the temperature range of 90-130°C. Trigonox® 42S may be used for the (co)polymerization of styrene in the temperature range of 90-140°C.

Functions

  • Polymerization initiator

Applications

  • LDPE,
  • Polystyrene

Thermoset composites

Detailed description

Trigonox® 42S, tert-butylperoxy-3,5,5-trimethylhexanoate, is a perester which is used for the curing of unsaturated polyester resins at elevated temperatures. Trigonox® 42S is preferred for the curing of UP resin based Hot Press Moulding formulations (SMC, DMC, BMC etc.) in the temperature range of 120 - 170°C. In combination with a cobalt accelerator (e.g. Accelerator NL-53N, 10% cobalt) Trigonox® 42S is also applicable for the cure of UP resins in the temperature range of 70°C and higher. Application area can be air drying lacquers, diplacquers, filament winding etc. Trigonox® 42S has in comparison with Trigonox® C, tert-butylperbenzoate, a somewhat higher reactivity in the pure resin as well as in HPM formulations.
