Nouryon Brand DirectorWhat is 1,1-Di-(tert-Butyl Peroxy)Cyclohexane (CH)?
CH (1,1-Di-(tert-Butyl Peroxy)Cyclohexane) plays a critical role in styrene polymerization and the crosslinking of thermoplastic plastics. With unique processing advantages, it is an essential peroxide in polymerization and crosslinking applications.
Safety Features of CH
CH is a transparent liquid with a concentration of 49%-51% in a mineral oil solution. For safe storage and handling:
Appearance: Transparent Liquid
Concentration: 49%-51% (50% mineral oil solution)
Recommended Storage Environment: Store in a well-ventilated, dry area, avoiding exposure to heat sources and direct sunlight.
Basic Information on CH
Chemical Name:1,1-Di-(tert-Butyl Peroxy)Cyclohexane
CAS Number:3006-86-8
UN Number:3105 (Class D Organic Peroxide; Liquid; Grade 5.2)
Recommended Storage Temperature: ≤25℃
SADT (Self-Accelerating Decomposition Temperature): 70℃
Active Oxygen Content: 6.02%-6.27%
Main Applications of CH
CH is widely used in styrene polymerization and the crosslinking of thermoplastic plastics, offering significant improvements in material performance:
Polymerization of Styrene:Ideal for bulk polymerization of styrene, with an effective temperature range of 90-120°C. It is highly effective in the polymerization or copolymerization of styrene, acrylonitrile, acrylates, and methyl methacrylate.
Crosslinking of Thermoplastic Plastics:CH improves the mechanical properties and thermal stability of materials, enhancing the durability and performance of thermoplastic polymers, making it ideal for various industrial applications.
Packaging and Shipping Requirements
For CH, the standard packaging is 30-liter HDPE drums, with a net weight of 25 kg per drum.
Shipping Requirements：Class D Organic Peroxide;Standard shipping temperature ≤25°C, and avoid exposure to high temperatures during transport.
Market Overview and Production Capacity
Annual Consumption of CH:The annual consumption of CH in the Chinese market is approximately 20 tons, representing a niche yet essential segment of the market.
Production Process and Capacity:Nouryon offers the model Trigonox 22-E50, imported from abroad.
International Brands such as Arkema and United Initiators (UI) offer CH but rely on overseas production.
Domestic Brands: Qiangsheng Chemical is the only domestic producer of CH, providing stable local supply.
Trigonox 22-E50: An Essential Partner in Polymerization
Trigonox 22-E50, another key product from Evergreen Chemicals, serves as a reliable peroxide solution for a wide range of polymerization applications. It is recognized for its stability and performance in various polymerization processes, including styrene, acrylonitrile, and methacrylate polymerization. Its ability to operate at a wide temperature range ensures that it can be used in both batch and continuous polymerization processes, making it a valuable asset for manufacturers seeking consistent quality and performance.
Market Competition Landscape
International brands like Nouryon, Arkema, and United Initiators (UI) dominate the high-end market due to their stable product quality but are limited by import cycles. On the other hand, domestic brands like Qiangsheng Chemical are enhancing their market competitiveness through localized production, gradually expanding their market share.
