As an industry-leading chemical supplier, Evergreen continues to monitor technological developments in the industry and is dedicated to providing customers with high-quality products and solutions. Cyclohexanone Peroxide (CYP), as an important organic peroxide, has played a key role in various industries in recent years. With its strong supply chain network and technical support, Evergreen actively promotes the application of CYP in fields such as automotive body filler curing, piano lacquer, and unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) curing.
CYP Product Overview
Cyclohexanone Peroxide (CYP) is a monofunctional organic peroxide, typically found in paste form, and is suitable for curing processes under high-temperature conditions. This product has excellent decomposition characteristics and safety, making it widely used in various high-demand industries, particularly in automotive body filler curing, piano lacquer, and unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) curing.
CYP Application Fields
Automotive Body Filler Curing
CYP is widely used in the automotive body filler curing industry, providing stable curing effects. Evergreen offers a range of formulations to meet various needs, enhancing characteristics such as thixotropy and color indicators, ensuring product quality stability and efficiency.
Piano Lacquer
In the piano lacquer industry, Evergreen uses liquid CYP to provide high gloss and uniform curing effects. The superior performance of CYP makes it an essential material in high-end furniture and musical instrument coatings.
Unsaturated Polyester Resin Curing
Under high-temperature conditions, CYP is used as a safer and more stable alternative to methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP), offering moderate curing speed and reliable reaction performance. It is widely applied in the curing of unsaturated polyester resins (UPR).
Safety and Transportation Advantages
Evergreen places a high priority on product safety. The active oxygen content of CYP is between 5.8% and 6.0%, and its concentration ranges from 40% to 50%. To ensure that the product remains in optimal condition during storage and transportation, the company recommends storing it in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment and emphasizes the importance of temperature-controlled transportation. While CYP does not require cold chain logistics during summer transportation, it is still necessary to avoid exposure to high temperatures, which could lead to self-accelerating decomposition.
Market Status and Production Capacity
Annual Consumption: The annual consumption of CYP in the Chinese market is approximately 100 tons, primarily concentrated in specific industrial applications such as automotive body filler, piano lacquer, and unsaturated polyester resin curing. As these industries continue to develop and innovate, the demand for CYP is steadily increasing.
Market Competition Landscape:
- International Brands: Nouryon’s CYCLONOX 1000P is relatively rare in the Chinese market, and due to its 3-4 month import delivery time, it is unable to meet the rapidly growing domestic demand. Although it holds some market share in high-end applications, it has not become a mainstream choice due to factors such as delivery lead time and cost.
- Domestic Brands: Domestic brands dominate the Chinese market due to their cost advantage and flexible supply chain management, meeting the needs of most small and medium-sized enterprises. Evergreen actively provides localized services to domestic customers, ensuring timely product supply and high-quality service, further solidifying its competitive position in the domestic market.
Evergreen’s Market Commitment
Evergreen will continue to deepen its focus on the domestic market, providing competitive products and services while expanding its global supply chain to secure a position in the global market. The company consistently upholds its core values of “loyalty and sincerity,” partnering with customers to drive the growth and innovation of the industry.
