Perkadox BC-40 (Dicumyl Peroxide 40%) is a monofunctional organic peroxide supplied as a 40% active formulation on an inert carrier in powder form. It is primarily used as a crosslinking agent for natural rubber, synthetic rubbers, and polyolefins.
This peroxide grade is widely utilized in rubber compounding where controlled crosslinking and processing stability are required. It offers good scorch safety, allowing safer handling during mixing and processing stages. Under suitable conditions, it also supports one-step mixing processes, improving operational efficiency.
The product exhibits defined thermal decomposition behavior, making it suitable for high-temperature curing systems. Typical applications involve processing temperatures around 130°C with crosslinking occurring near 170°C. Its powdered form ensures ease of dispersion in rubber compounds and compatibility with standard mixing equipment.
Perkadox BC-40 is commonly used in industrial rubber goods, wire and cable compounds, and polymer modification processes where peroxide curing systems are preferred.
