Applications
Luperox 575 polymer initiator is a tert-amyl peroxyester used for coatings resin synthesis, pultrusion, polymerization of styrenic polymers, or for polyol modification in polyurethane foams. The lower-energy ethyl radicals generated during decomposition also help reduce residual monomer content in a range of applications. For acrylic polymerization for coatings, these same radicals form polymers with a narrow polydispersity and lower solution viscosity.
