China and the United States are the leading exporters of tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate (CAS 614-45-9), accounting for the largest shares of global supply, while Germany, South Korea, and India represent the top importing markets. Import volumes in key Asian and European markets have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest growth observed alongside steady tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate prices.
tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, with a faint, characteristic pungent odor and moderate volatility. It is an organic peroxide, specifically an acyl alkyl peroxide, classified as a reactive oxygen-containing compound. It is widely used as a free-radical initiator in polymerization processes—particularly for vinyl monomers such as styrene, acrylates, and methacrylates—and serves as a crosslinking agent in unsaturated polyester resins and silicone elastomers. Its primary applications are in the production of thermosetting plastics, coatings, adhesives, and rubber compounds, where controlled decomposition at elevated temperatures provides efficient initiation without excessive residue formation.
Polymerization initiator for polyethylene,polystyrene, polyacrylates, and polyesters; chem-ical intermediate.
colourless or slightly yellow liquid
