Tert-Butyl Peroxybenzoate (TBPB) is an aromatic organic peroxide widely used as a free radical initiator in the polymer and plastics industry. It functions as a high-efficiency crosslinking and curing agent for unsaturated polyester resins, acrylic resins, and silicone rubbers. TBPB is valued for its thermal stability and consistent reactivity at elevated temperatures. It is used in molding, laminating, and extrusion processes where controlled curing is essential.

Industrial Uses

1. Performance Chemicals

  • Initiator in Polymer Manufacturing: Used to initiate free radical polymerization in the production of plastics and resins. Provides uniform and controlled curing for unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins. Commonly applied in fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) components and composite molding.
  • Crosslinking Agent in Silicone Rubber and Acrylics: Serves as a high-temperature curing catalyst in heat-curable elastomers and acrylic polymers. Promotes consistent crosslinking for improved mechanical properties and thermal resistance. Suitable for applications requiring dimensional stability and high heat performance.

2. Constructions

  • Laminates and Molded Composite Structures: Used in the manufacture of structural panels, doors, sanitary ware, and construction profiles. Improves strength, surface finish, and durability of resin-based molded components. Preferred in thermal curing cycles for building-grade fiberglass-reinforced parts.

3. Paints, Coatings & Adhesive 

  • Resin Curing Additive in Coating Formulations: Utilized in thermoset resin coatings for marine, automotive, and architectural applications. Enhances hardness, adhesion, and chemical resistance in finished coating films. Ensures complete polymerization under controlled temperature curing systems.
