Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO) paste is a critical chemical compound that plays a vital role in numerous industrial processes. While often associated with its pharmaceutical applications, its utility as an industrial raw material is extensive. As a leading manufacturer and supplier, we are dedicated to providing high-quality BPO paste to meet the diverse needs of industries globally. This article explores the key properties and industrial applications that make BPO paste an indispensable component for formulators and manufacturers.

Key Properties of Benzoyl Peroxide Paste

The primary form of industrial Benzoyl Peroxide is often a paste, which enhances safety and handling compared to the pure crystalline compound. Our BPO paste (CAS 94-36-0) is characterized by its distinctive white color and specific chemical properties crucial for its function:

  • Appearance: White Paste
  • Active Oxygen Content: Typically around 50±1%, indicating its potent oxidizing capability.
  • Moisture Content: Generally kept below 3% to maintain stability and efficacy.
  • Radical Generation: The inherent weakness of the O-O bond allows for facile homolytic cleavage when initiated by heat or light, generating reactive benzoyl radicals.

These properties make it an ideal candidate for applications requiring controlled radical generation.

Diverse Industrial Applications

The reactivity of Benzoyl Peroxide paste lends itself to a broad spectrum of industrial uses:

  • Polymerization Initiator: BPO paste is a cornerstone in the production of various polymers. It initiates the chain reaction necessary for monomers to polymerize, forming essential materials like polyethylene and polystyrene. Manufacturers relying on radical polymerization processes find our BPO paste to be a dependable raw material.
  • Curing Agent for FRP: In the manufacturing of Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP), BPO paste acts as a catalyst for curing resins. This process is vital for pultrusion and hand lay-up techniques, ensuring the final composite material achieves its desired strength and structural integrity.
  • Coatings and Adhesives: The paste is employed in specialized coatings, including road marking paints and elastic floor/roof coatings, contributing to their durability and curing speed. It also enhances the performance of various adhesive formulations by facilitating rapid bond formation.
