Applications
Luperox P polymer initiator is a versatile organic peroxide used for the polymerization of styrene to form polystyrene resins, or for curing unsaturated polyesters. When used for manufacturing expandable polystyrene, Luperox P polymer initiator is recommended as a second-stage initiator. For open and closed mold composites, users value its long shelf life after catalysis and high purity. Typical curing temperatures for unsaturated polyester resins are 280°F to 320°F using 0.5% to 1.0% by weight.
