Dicumene
- Product Description
-
- Commodity name: Dicumene
Polystyrene (PS) and Polypropylene (PP): Dicumene is widely used in these polymers, including EPS, due to its synergistic effect with brominated compounds and its ability to act as a plastic initiator and grafting agent.
Chemical Name:Dicumene
Shape:Typically, available as a white to off-white crystalline powder or granules.
Component: 1.3-Diisopropylbenzene / 1.4-Diisopropylbenzene (depending on isomer)
Other names:Diisopropylbenzene, DIPB
Molecular Formula: C₁₆H₂₂O₄ (for diisobutyl phthalate variant)
Molecular Weight: 238.37
CAS Number:
25321-09-9 (mixed isomers)
99-62-7 (1.3-Diisopropylbenzene)
100-18-5 (1.4-Diisopropylbenzene)
Application:
Polystyrene (PS) and Polypropylene (PP): Dicumene is widely used in these polymers, including EPS, due to its synergistic effect with brominated compounds and its ability to act as a plastic initiator and grafting agent.
ABS/SAN Engineering Plastics: It finds application in these materials as well.
Brominated Flame Retardants: Dicumene enhances the effectiveness of brominated flame retardants, often reducing the amount needed.
Halogen-Free Systems: It can also be used in halogen-free flame retardant systems, offering a versatile solution.
Synergist in Fire Retardancy: Dicumene boosts the flame retardancy of polyolefin plastics and can improve the overall performance of plastics, including smoke suppression and mechanical properties.
Grafting Catalyst/Polymer Cross-linking Initiator: It acts as a grafting catalyst for polystyrene and polypropylene and as a polymer cross-linking initiator.
High-Temperature Applications: Its good thermal stability makes it suitable for use in applications requiring high-temperature processing, like engineering plastics.
Synergistic Effect: Dicumene works well with brominated compounds and other flame retardants to enhance their effectiveness.
Non-toxic and Smoke Suppressing: It is considered a non-toxic flame retardant, and it can help reduce smoke generation during a fire.
Cost-effective: Dicumene can be a cost-effective alternative to some traditional flame retardants, like antimony trioxide.
Stable during Processing:
It remains stable during polymer processing, but decomposes at the high temperatures experienced during a fire, making it effective at that time.
Packing:
25.500 or 1000 kg bags
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
Recommended storage temperature: below 30°C (86°F).
Ensure containers are tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
