Tert Butyl Hydro peroxide TBHP

Tert-butyl Hydroperoxide, TBHP, is one of the most commonly used alkyl hydrogen organic peroxides. Commodity is generally light yellow transparent non-volatile liquid, slightly soluble in water, and organic solvent mutual solution. Butyl hydrogen peroxide in industry is mainly used as a free radical reaction or polymerization initiator, relative to most other initiator decomposition products are acidic, TBHP decomposition products for tert-butanol (TBA) and a small amount of acetone, no corrosion to the equipment, so the device is not high requirements. The decomposition and activation energy of O-O bond in tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide is low, so it can be used as an improtant to increase the cetane number of diesel oil. Tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide is an important intermediate in organic synthesis. It is a kind of crosslinking agent used in unsaturated polyester crosslinking at medium and high temperature. Under the action of metal catalyst, TBHP can also be used as oxygen supplier to selectively oxidize unsaturated hydrocarbons such as acetals, allyl alcohol type compounds and unsaturated hydrocarbons.
