Product Introduction
BPO is an organic peroxygen initiator with strong oxidizing properties. It can break down two primary free radicals homogeneously. This decomposition produces reactions at approximately first order rates and has no side reactions in aqueous solution. BPO produces high linearity and molecular weight polymers through smooth, stable, and controllable decomposition reactions.
