Applications
- TAHP is a commonly used initiator for radical reactions. It is characterized by good thermal stability, safe handling, and ease of control. At temperatures b...
- , its activity remains stable for three months without significant change, and it does not require costly frozen storage. It can be used in emulsion polymeri...
- outperforms persulfates, isopropylbenzene hydroperoxide, and benzoyl peroxide in many respects. The decomposition products of TAHP are primarily tert-butanol...
- most other initiators form acidic byproducts.
- TAHP is also widely used as a polymerization initiator for styrene and styrene copolymers (such as SAN and ABS), as well as for acrylic acid, methacrylic aci...
- TAHP is a very important organic synthesis intermediate.
