Product Description

Rubber compounds containing Perkadox® BC-FF offer good processing safety and a moderate curing rate.

• Safe processing temperature: 130°C (ts₂ > 20 minutes, measured by rheometer)

• Typical crosslinking temperature: 170°C (t₉₀ approx. 12 minutes, measured by rheometer)

The above data was obtained using a rheometer with EPDM (ethylene propylene diene rubber) as the base material and can serve as a reference for actual processing and formulation design.

Applications of DCP (Di-Cumyl Peroxide)

1. Rubber & Elastomer Industry

As a high-efficiency crosslinking agent, DCP promotes crosslinking reactions in rubber and elastomers, enhancing durability, abrasion resistance, and tear strength.
Applications: Tires, seals, shoe soles, sports shoes, industrial footwear.

2. Plastics Industry

Used for crosslinking modification of thermoplastics such as EVA and PE, improving elasticity, strength, and heat resistance.
Applications: Footwear materials, plastic flooring, waterproof materials.

3. Cable & Wire Industry

Applied in the crosslinking process for cable insulation and sheathing, enhancing heat resistance, mechanical strength, and insulation stability.
Applications: High-voltage cables, heat-resistant cables, rubber wires.

4. Foam Products Industry

Used in the crosslinking foaming process of EVA and PE foams, improving elasticity and uniformity.
Applications: Sports mats, protective pads, packaging materials.

5. Construction Materials Industry

Applied in waterproof membranes and sealing materials, enhancing weather resistance and aging resistance.

With its stable and efficient crosslinking properties, DCP is an essential additive across multiple industries, particularly in applications requiring enhanced material properties and durability.

Half-Life Data

The activity of organic peroxides is typically expressed in terms of their half-life (t₁/₂) at different temperatures. The half-life of Perkadox® BC-FF in chlorobenzene is:

Thermal Stability

Organic peroxides are thermally unstable substances that may undergo self-accelerating decomposition.
The Self-Accelerating Decomposition Temperature (SADT) refers to the lowest temperature at which a substance may begin to self-decompose in its transport packaging.

• SADT of Perkadox® BC-FF: 75°C (167°F)
• Test method: Thermal accumulation storage test (as referenced in the UN “Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods – Manual of Tests and Criteria”)

Storage Recommendations

Due to the potential for quality degradation over time, Nouryon recommends the following storage conditions to minimize risk:

• Maximum storage temperature: 30°C (86°F)
• Store in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area
• Keep away from heat sources, ignition sources, and direct sunlight
• Do not repackage or weigh the product in storage areas
