Market Segments

Polymer production

Detailed description

Laurox® is a widely used initiator for the suspension and mass polymerization of vinyl chloride between 60°C and 80°C. In many cases Laurox® is combined with a more active initiator, such as a peroxydicarbonate (e.g. Perkadox® 16) to increase reactor efficiency. Laurox® is used as an initiator for the high pressure polymerization of ethylene, but because of its poor solubility in most aliphatics, it is in many cases replaced by other peroxides such as Di(3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl) peroxide (Trigonox® 36). The advantage of Laurox® is the possibility of storing at ambient temperature. Laurox® is also used as an initiator for the polymerization of methylmethacrylate at 60-90°C. Laurox® is often applied as a replacement for 2,2'-Azobis(isobutyronitril) (Perkadox® AIBN).
