Applications
Trigonox M-55 may be used in mass, emulsion and solvent (co)polymerizations of styrene, butadiene, acrylonitile, acrylates and methacrylates. In emulsion processes, Trigonox M-55 may be activated by water-soluble as well as oil-soluble reducing agents or by metal compounds to achieve reproducible polymerization at room temperature or lower. Trigonox M-55 is particularly suited for the cold emulsion polymerization of rubber latexes.
