Abstract
Embodiments of organic peroxide formulations provide longer scorch time protection and require fewer additives. The peroxide formulations may include, for example, at least one organic peroxide, at least one nitroxide-containing compound (e.g., 4-hydroxy-TEMPO), and at least one quinone-containing compound (e.g., mono-tert-butylhydroquinone).
Claims17
A liquid or meltable solid organic peroxide formulation for curing solid elastomer compositions, said formulation comprising:
- at least one organic peroxide,
- at least one nitroxide-containing compound which is at least one or more of the following:
- 4-hydroxy TEMPO (4-OHT) and TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl), and
- at least one quinone-containing compound which is at least one or more of the following:
- mono-tert-butylhydroquinone (MTBHQ);
- hydroquinone;
- hydroquinone mono-methyl ether (HQMME);
- mono-t-amylhydroquinone and di-t-amyl hydroquinone,
- wherein said organic peroxide cures said solid elastomers.
