2,5-Dimethyl-2,5-Di(tert-Butyl Peroxy)Hex-3-Yne (DYBP) is a highly efficient polymer crosslinking agent that plays a critical role in the production of underfloor heating pipes and has shown potential in copper-clad laminate applications. Although the market demand for DYBP remains relatively niche, its unique technical properties and processing advantages make it a competitive option in specific industrial sectors. In this article, we will dive into the key characteristics, applications, and market trends for DYBP.
Basic Information
DYBP is a peroxygen compound specifically used as a crosslinking agent in polymer manufacturing. It provides excellent performance in underfloor heating pipes and is recognized for its high-temperature stability and crosslinking efficiency.
Safety Characteristics
- Active Oxygen Content: Approximately 11.17%
- Purity: 83.0-86.0%
- Recommended Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid exposure to high temperatures and open flames.
DYBP, classified as a Class C organic peroxide, requires special handling and storage conditions due to its high active oxygen content. Proper safety precautions must be followed to ensure its stability during transportation and storage.
Key Applications
Crosslinking in Underfloor Heating Pipes
DYBP is a powerful crosslinking agent used in the production of underfloor heating pipes, significantly improving their heat resistance and mechanical properties.
- Key Benefits:
- Excellent scorch safety, with a safe processing temperature of 145°C.
- Typical crosslinking temperature is 185°C, providing robust thermal and mechanical performance for long-term stability in heating systems.
Copper-Clad Laminate (CCL) Application
While DYBP’s use in copper-clad laminate is still in development, its high crosslinking efficiency and stable processing characteristics offer promising prospects for future adoption in the electronics industry.
Packaging and Shipping
- Standard Packaging: 30-liter HDPE drums, net weight of 25 kg per drum.
- Shipping Requirements:
- DYBP falls under Class C Organic Peroxide, and temperature control is not required during transport.
- During summer, care should be taken to avoid high-temperature transport, which could lead to decomposition or safety risks.
Market Trends and Production Capacity
- Annual Consumption:
The annual consumption of DYBP in the Chinese market is approximately 50 tons, positioning it as a relatively niche product. - Market Competition:
- International Brands:
- Nouryon: Holds around 70% of the market share in China with its product TRIGONOX 145-E85, manufactured locally in Ningbo, ensuring reliable supply with a lead time of up to 3 months.
- Arkema and United Initiators: Have limited market presence in China.
- Domestic Brands:
- Qiangsheng Chemical is the only domestic producer of DYBP in China, serving a stable customer base in niche industries.
- International Brands:
Although DYBP remains a small market in China, its performance and specialized applications ensure that it will continue to be a key player in high-end polymer processing.
