Polyvinyl chloride production capacity continues to grow, and the bisperoxydicarbonate (BCHPC) industry has good development prospects

Bis(4-tert-butylcyclohexyl)peroxydicarbonate is also known as BCHPC, TBCP, bis(4-tert-butylcyclohexyl)peroxydicarbonate. BCHPC is a white solid powder, mainly used as initiator for the polymerization and copolymerization of styrene, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, acrylate and methacrylate. Currently, BCHPC is mainly used in vinyl chloride polymerization and resin curing globally, with the former accounting for about 70% of the demand and the latter accounting for about 30%.

Polyvinyl chloride is an important branch of the chemical industry. It is mainly used in pipes, films and telecommunications cables, and has high market demand. In recent years, my country’s polyvinyl chloride production capacity has shown a growth trend, reaching about 28.23 million tons in 2021; demand has also shown a growth trend, reaching 21.9 million tons in 2021. Polyvinyl chloride is an important application field of BCHPC. Benefiting from the development of the polyvinyl chloride industry, the demand for BCHPC applications is rising.

BCHPC is an organic peroxide. There are many types of organic peroxides. According to their molecular structure, they can be divided into alkyl hydroperoxides, dialkyl peroxides, diacyl peroxides, peroxy ketals, and peroxy esters. Concentrated types such as peroxydicarbonate and others, among which BCHP belongs to peroxy esters. Organic peroxide is an essential raw material for the production of various polymers, so its development is extremely important to the field of new materials, and there are still many companies operating in this field.

In the world, the earliest companies in the field of organic peroxides include NOF Co., Ltd., AkzoNobel, French Arkema, AkzoNobel and other companies. Among them, Arkema produces a complete range of organic peroxides and is ranked first in the world. It has a relatively high market share. In the domestic market, organic peroxide manufacturers mainly focus on room-temperature organic peroxide products. In recent years, with the improvement of production technology, new products have been continuously produced, but the research and production of BCHPC are still in their early stages. Overall, The output is small, and the manufacturer has Zhongmao Materials.

According to the “2022-2027 Bisperoxydicarbonate (BCHPC) Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report” released by the Industrial Research Center shows that in the global market, there are few BCHPC manufacturers, only the United States’ Shuojin and the Netherlands’ Nouryon. Among them, the Netherlands’ Nouryon is the first company to realize BCHPC production and is also the company with the largest BCHPC production capacity in the world. The current production capacity At 500 tons/year, the product grade produced is PERKADOX16. It can be seen from this that BCHPC, as a new type of organic peroxide, has a high production technology threshold, currently there are few production companies, and the future market development potential is huge.

Industrial analysts said that BCHPC, as a polymerization initiator and resin curing agent, has high application value in the development of new materials, especially The application demand in polyvinyl chloride is high and the industry development prospects are good. In terms of production, due to the high technical threshold for BCHPC production, there are currently few companies in the world that can achieve mass production. my country’s BCHPC industry is still in the early stages of development. Only a few companies can achieve production, and the output is low.
