Application

Trigonox 101 is a versatile, colorless to light yellow liquid designed primarily for initiating degradation in polypropylene and serving as a monomer scavenger in styrene polymerization. This efficient peroxide operates effectively within a temperature range of 200-250°C, making it optimal for the controlled breakdown of polypropylene. Additionally, Trigonox 101 acts as a chaser catalyst, significantly reducing residual monomers during the mass polymerization of styrene. It is also utilized in the crosslinking process for both natural and synthetic rubber, as well as thermoplastic polyolefins, providing compounds with excellent scorch safety. When used in rubber formulations, it ensures safe processing at a temperature of 135°C, maintaining a rheometer ts2 greater than 20 minutes, and facilitates typical crosslinking at 175°C with a rheometer t90 of approximately 12 minutes.
