Application

Luperox®DI, tert-Butyl peroxide has been used as a radical initiator to induce free radical polymerization. It has also been used as a cetane enhancer in a study to determine the phase behavior of carboxylate-based extended surfactant reverse micellar microemulsions with ethanol and vegetable oil/diesel blends.
