Applications
Luperox 256 polymer initiator is a bifunctional analog of Luperox 26 initiator, providing higher efficiency in molding compound applications (SMC/BMC). Typically, 50% less dosage is needed compared to Luperox initiator to achieve an equivalent cure cycle. The diradicals generated by Luperox 256 will produce higher molecular weight polymers, resulting in better mechanical properties.
