Cumyl Hydroperoxide (CAS 80-15-9): Technical Profile

Core Specifications

Material Characteristics

Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow liquid
Purity: 80-85% (industrial grade), 99% (pharma grade)
Thermal Stability: Stable at 70-90°C; explosive decomposition above 145°C
Solubility: Miscible with organic solvents, limited water solubility (0.1% w/w)

Strategic Industrial Uses

1. Petrochemical Synthesis

Primary application in Hock process for phenol-acetone production (90% market share):
C₆H₅-C(CH₃)₂OOH → C₆H₅OH + (CH₃)₂CO
Key advantage: 98% conversion efficiency at 80°C with sulfuric acid catalyst

2. Polymer Manufacturing

• ABS resin production: Initiates graft polymerization at 0.5-1.5% concentration
• LDPE cross-linking: 0.2% CHP improves thermal resistance by 40%
• Rubber vulcanization: Reduces scorch time by 25% vs. DCP initiators

3. Specialty Chemical Production

• Epoxidation catalyst: Converts 90% of styrene to styrene oxide in <4hrs
• Pharmaceutical intermediates: Selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides
• Arsenic removal: Treats 10,000 MT/day ethylene cracker feed at 50 ppm dosage
