Acrylic Resin
Acrylic resins are among the most widely used in industrial applications ranging from coatings to electronics to eyeglasses, owing to their high degree of durability and optical clarity. While the purity of acrylic monomers and the curing process of the resin are major factors that influence quality, another factor often overlooked is the quality and type of the free radical initiator.
Organic peroxide is the most common free radical polymerization initiator used for acrylic resin manufacturing. They decompose at elevated temperatures, releasing free radicals that attack monomer molecules, causing them to link together and form a polymer chain. This process is crucial for creating the desired properties of acrylic resins in various applications, including the production of plastics, composites, and coatings.
