Di-Tert-Butyl Peroxide

1. What Is Di-Tert-Butyl Peroxide?

Di-Tert-Butyl Peroxide (DTBP), with the chemical formula (CH3)3COOC(CH3)3, is a powerful organic peroxide widely used as a radical initiator in the polymerization process and as a catalyst in various chemical reactions. This colorless liquid or crystalline solid is known for its ability to decompose into free radicals at elevated temperatures, making it an essential component in the manufacturing of plastics, rubber, and other polymer-based materials. HighMountainChem specializes in providing high-purity Di-Tert-Butyl Peroxide, meeting the diverse needs of industries looking for efficient and reliable chemical initiators.

2. Definition and Chemical Composition

Di-Tert-Butyl Peroxide is characterized by its structure, consisting of two tert-butyl groups connected by a peroxide bond. This unique configuration grants DTBP its high thermal stability and reactivity, which are crucial for its role as a polymerization initiator and in various organic syntheses. At HighMountainChem, our DTBP is synthesized to achieve the highest standards of quality and performance, supporting its application across a range of chemical processes.

Physical and Chemical Properties

• Appearance: A colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature, with a characteristic odor.
• Boiling Point: Exhibits a relatively high boiling point, indicative of its thermal stability.
• Solubility: Soluble in organic solvents, facilitating its use in various organic reactions and polymerization processes.
• Decomposition: DTBP decomposes thermally, releasing free radicals beneficial for initiating polymerization reactions.
