Applications
Polymerization of vinyl chloride: Laurox S is a widely used initiator for the suspension and mass polymerization of vinyl chloride between 60°C and 80°C. In many cases Laurox S is combined with a more active initiator, such as a peroxydicarbonate (e. g. Perkadox 16) to increase reactor efficiency.
