Regarding the role and use of tert-butyl peroxy (2-ethylhexanoate) (also known as tert-butyl peroxy-2-ethylhexanoate), it is mainly an ‌organic peroxide‌, in It has a wide range of applications in the chemical industry.

First, it is often used as an initiator for free radical polymerization. In the production process of polymer materials such as plastics and rubber, polymer materials with specific structures and properties can be prepared by initiating free radical polymerization of monomer molecules. Tert-butyl peroxide (2-ethylhexanoate) has become an indispensable raw material in these industrial processes due to its efficient initiating ability and good controllability.

One of the raw materials.

In addition, it is widely used in the preparation of ‌crosslinking agents‌ and ‌curing agents‌. In the fields of coatings, adhesives, composite materials, etc., through the cross-linking effect of peroxide, the material can form a stable network structure, thereby improving its strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and other properties. Tert-butyl peroxide (2-ethylhexanoate) has also been widely used in these fields due to its good cross-linking effect and stable chemical properties.

It should be noted that (2-ethylhexanoic acid) tert-butyl peroxide, as an organic peroxide, is flammable and explosive. Relevant safety regulations and operating procedures need to be strictly followed during use and storage. , to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.

To sum up, tert-butyl peroxide (2-ethylhexanoate) plays an important role in the chemical industry and is indispensable in the production and processing of many polymer materials.
