NEW MATERIAL:α,α-Dimethylbenzyl(α,α-dimethyl-m-isopropylbenzyl)peroxide. n USE: Crosslinking agent for electrical insulation polymer (esp. polyethylene). Decomposition accelerator for peroxide-decomposing polymer. Polymerization initiator of radical polymerization. Since it is liquid at room temp., it is easily measured, and safely and economically added to the polymer to obtain a uniform moling compound. n PROCESS: The objective compound can be prepared either by reacting α,α-dimethylbenzyl-hydroperoxide with α,α-dimethyl-m-isopropylbenzyl alcohol in the presence of an acidic catalyst, or by reacting α,α-dimethyl-isopropylbenzylhydroperoxide with α,α-dimethylbenzyl alcohol. n COPYRIGHT: (C)1979,JPO&Japio |
