Application

Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide Technical 50% serves as a pivotal agent in the polymer industry due to its function as an organic peroxide, characterized by its colorless, oily liquid form. Primarily, it acts as a catalyst for initiating the polymerization of various monomers such as ethylene, styrene, and vinyl chloride, crucial for the vulcanization, or crosslinking, of polymers. Additionally, it facilitates room temperature curing of polyester resins and serves as a hardening agent for fiberglass-reinforced plastics. MEKP is essential for the manufacture of acrylic resins, as it generates reactive free radicals necessary for these processes. Its application extends beyond polymerization to oxidation reactions, such as the oxidation of nucleoside phosphites into phosphates. As a reagent, it aids in the synthesis of oligonucleotides and serves as an electrochemical catalyst in specific analytical chemistry techniques. Despite its invaluable applications, MEKP must be handled with care due to its hazard identification ratings of Health 3, Flammability 2, and Reactivity 2, indicative of potential risks if improperly managed.
