Applications
:
AKPEROX Catalyst K is the suitable initiator for polymerization of Ethylene during Autoclave and pipe type processes, under high pressure.
Usage & Amount
:
CATALYST K is used in the polymerization of both Ethylene and Vinyl Chloride. During polymerization of Ethylene, obtained a large spectrum in polymerization temperature and should be used in combination with other peroxides. During polymerization, it is used at temperatures between 50 – 70 C as initiator for Suspension Vinyl Chloride Polymerization
