What is akrochem DCP?

Akrochem DCP is an organic dialkyl peroxide chemically identified as dicumyl peroxide. It is used as a cross-linking agent for many rubber elastomers and plastic materials, such as polyethylene and ethylene vinyl acetate.

What is Luperox® DCP E?

Luperox® DCP E is a monofunctional peroxide used for the crosslinking of natural and synthetics rubbers and polyethylene. It is used in many applications such as building profiles, automotive rubber parts, wire and cable, technical rubber parts.

What is DCP peroxide used for?

DC-40C —– calcium carbonate Akrochem DCP peroxide is used as a catalyst for cross-linking many polymers. Due to DCP’s half life, this peroxide provides a good compromise between scorch safety and cure rate. In addition, this cross-linker is listed in FDA CFR 21: Title “Food and Drugs” part 177.2600, Rubber Articles Intended for Repeated Use.

What is DCP used for?

It is used as a cross-linking agent for many rubber elastomers and plastic materials, such as polyethylene and ethylene vinyl acetate. DCP is noted for its non-blooming characteristic and high reactivity at medium processing and curing temperatures (see half-life times below).

What is Westco DCP 40C?

WESTCO™ DCP 40C is a 40% dicumyl peroxide on calcium carbonate and is a crosslinking agent for synthetic rubbers and polyolefins. It provides lower compression set and better heat resistance than sulfur cured compounds. Technical Product Sheets and SDS sheets are available for each of the chemicals listed.

How do you store DCP peroxide?

DCP is noted for its non-blooming characteristic and high reactivity at medium processing and curing temperatures (see half-life times below). SADT (self accelerating decomposition temperature) is 75°C and the safe processing temperature (ts2>20 mins.) is 130°C. Store these peroxides as close to room temperature as possible. DC-40C
