Usage

Description

Diacetone alcohol peroxide (in a mixture, content ≤ 57%, containing ≥ 8% water, ≤ 26% diacetone alcohol, ≤ 9% hydrogen peroxide, ≤ 10% available oxygen) is a highly sensitive compound that can decompose violently when exposed to temperature rises or contamination. It is typically stored or transported in a solvent slurry, water alcohol, or similar mediums to maintain stability.

Uses

Used in Polymer Industry:
Diacettone alcohol peroxide (in a mixture, content ≤ 57%, containing ≥ 8% water, ≤ 26% diacetone alcohol, ≤ 9% hydrogen peroxide, ≤ 10% available oxygen) is used as a curing agent for various polymers and resins. Its ability to generate free radicals upon decomposition makes it an effective initiator for the polymerization process, improving the strength and durability of the final product.
Used in Paper Industry:
In the paper industry, diacetone alcohol peroxide (in a mixture, content ≤ 57%, containing ≥ 8% water, ≤ 26% diacetone alcohol, ≤ 9% hydrogen peroxide, ≤ 10% available oxygen) is used as a bleaching agent. Its decomposition releases oxygen, which helps to break down and remove impurities and colorants from the paper pulp, resulting in a brighter and cleaner final product.
Used in Cosmetic Industry:
Diacetone alcohol peroxide (in a mixture, content ≤ 57%, containing ≥ 8% water, ≤ 26% diacetone alcohol, ≤ 9% hydrogen peroxide, ≤ 10% available oxygen) is used as a hair bleaching agent in the cosmetic industry. Its controlled release of oxygen helps to gently lift the hair color, providing a more natural and even result.
Used in Food Industry:
In the food industry, diacetone alcohol peroxide (in a mixture, content ≤ 57%, containing ≥ 8% water, ≤ 26% diacetone alcohol, ≤ 9% hydrogen peroxide, ≤ 10% available oxygen) is used as a dough conditioner and improver. Its decomposition helps to increase the dough's strength and elasticity, leading to better texture and appearance in the final baked goods.
Used in Environmental Applications:
Diacetone alcohol peroxide (in a mixture, content ≤ 57%, containing ≥ 8% water, ≤ 26% diacetone alcohol, ≤ 9% hydrogen peroxide, ≤ 10% available oxygen) is used in environmental remediation processes. Its decomposition releases oxygen, which can help to break down pollutants and contaminants in soil and water, promoting a cleaner and healthier environment.

Reactivity Profile

DIACETONE ALCOHOL PEROXIDE is not prepared or isolated in pure form, mentioned only in three patent documents as an intermediate to initiate polymerization. Generated by the peroxidation of ketones with hydrogen peroxide to produce plastics [Chemical Abstracts, AN 99:106328; 93:240488; 82:87000]. See Hydrogen peroxide and Peroxides.
