Polymerization initiators are chemicals that kickstart the reaction converting monomers into polymers by generating free radicals, ions, or other active species.These compounds break down under heat, light, or catalysts to form reactive sites, enabling chain growth in plastics like PVC, polystyrene, or acrylics. Their selection impacts polymerization speed, molecular weight, and final polymer properties.

Camcure

Camcure is a specialized epoxy hardener designed to be used in conjunction with epoxy resins to facilitate curing, improve mechanical strength, and enhance chemical resistance. It typically appears as a clear to pale yellow liquid with low viscosity, enabling easy mixing with resin systems. This hardener is widely used in coatings, adhesives, composites, and industrial applications requiring durable, tough, and chemically resistant cured products. Camcure 9115X70 promotes rapid curing at ambient or elevated temperatures and offers excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates including metals, plastics, and concrete.

Craymide Epoxy Hardener

Craymide Epoxy Hardener is a high-performance epoxy hardener commonly used to cure epoxy resins. It is a polyamide-based curing agent that promotes excellent cross-linking with epoxy groups, resulting in coatings, adhesives, and composites with superior mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and durability. This hardener is widely used in industrial coatings, adhesives, and composite manufacturing due to its balanced curing profile and compatibility with a range of epoxy systems. Craymide 115 provides toughness and flexibility while maintaining strong adhesion to various substrates.

Dicumyl Peroxide

Dicumyl Peroxide (DCP) is a widely used organic peroxide with powerful free radical initiator properties. It appears as a white crystalline solid with a characteristic odor and is primarily employed as a cross-linking agent and polymerization initiator in the plastics and rubber industries. Due to its ability to generate free radicals upon thermal decomposition, it facilitates curing and cross-linking of polymers, improving mechanical properties and heat resistance. Dicumyl Peroxide is a key component in manufacturing processes for polyethylene, polypropylene, EPDM rubber, and other elastomers.
