Bis(tert-butylperoxyisopropyl)benzene

Description:

Bis(tert-butylperoxyisopropyl)benzene, with the CAS number 25155-25-3, is an organic peroxide commonly used as a radical initiator in polymerization processes. This compound is characterized by its structure, which includes two tert-butylperoxy groups attached to an isopropylbenzene backbone. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its relatively high thermal stability compared to other organic peroxides, making it suitable for various industrial applications. However, it is also sensitive to heat, shock, and friction, necessitating careful handling and storage. The compound decomposes exothermically, releasing free radicals that can initiate polymerization reactions, particularly in the production of plastics and resins. Safety precautions are essential when working with this substance, as it can pose risks of combustion and skin irritation. Overall, Bis(tert-butylperoxyisopropyl)benzene is valued in the chemical industry for its effectiveness as a polymerization initiator while requiring stringent safety measures due to its reactive nature.
