Dibenzoyl peroxide has a wide range of application fields and the market size is increasing year by year.

Dibenzoyl peroxide, also known as benzoyl peroxide and initiator BPO, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C14H10O4. It tastes slightly bitter and appears as a white crystalline powder at room temperature. It is slightly soluble in ethanol and water. In benzene, chloroform, ether. Dibenzoyl peroxide has the characteristics of high flammability and unstable properties. It has a high risk of explosion when exposed to friction, impact, bright light, high temperature, reducing agents, etc., and is one of the hazardous chemicals.

The current domestic production method of dibenzoyl peroxide is mainly the hydrogen peroxide method. This production method is mainly divided into two major links, namely the synthesis reaction link, which refers to using hydrogen peroxide and liquid alkali as the main raw materials to generate oxidized dibenzoyl peroxide through chemical reactions. Sodium solution; in the filtration and drying process, dibenzoyl peroxide is produced through the reaction of sodium oxide solution and benzoyl chloride, and then the finished product is produced through filtration, washing, drying and other processes. The use of hydrogen peroxide method to produce dibenzoyl peroxide has the advantages of simple operation, high product quality, and low pollution.

Dibenzoyl peroxide is an important chemical raw material with a wide range of applications. Specifically, dibenzoyl peroxide can be used as an initiator in solvent polymerization of acrylates, vinyl acetate, and other product manufacturing scenarios such as chloroprene rubber and natural rubber; it can be used as an unsaturated polyester resin curing agent in fiberglass manufacturing scenarios. ; Can be used as an adhesive in plexiglass manufacturing scenarios; as a vulcanizing agent in silicone rubber and fluororubber manufacturing scenarios; and as an anti-acne drug, Bansai, in the treatment of skin diseases such as acne and pimples.

In recent years, driven by the rapid development of its application fields, its domestic market demand has continued to be released, and the market size has increased year by year. According to the “Global Benzoyl Peroxide Industry Market Status Research Report 2022” released by the Industrial Research Center, my country’s peroxide The benzoyl market size has grown from 16.63 billion yuan in 2017 to 23.85 billion yuan in 2021, with a compound annual growth rate of 7.48% during the period.

At present, my country has become the main producer of dibenzoyl peroxide in the world. Local companies mainly include Zhongteng Chemical, Hengda Chemical, Huifengda Chemical, Jianheng Chemical, Yateng Chemical, McLean Biochemical Technology, etc. As the domestic production technology of dibenzoyl peroxide continues to improve, leading local companies have the ability to compete with international companies, and the industry has huge potential for future development.

Industrial analysts personnel said that dibenzoyl peroxide, as an important chemical raw material, has a wide range of applications. In recent years, driven by the rapid development of its application fields, the domestic dibenzoyl peroxide market has continued to expand, and the industry has good development prospects. However, when leading local companies currently seize the global dibenzoyl peroxide market share, they still rely on external advantages such as high cost performance, short supply cycle, and good service. In the future, local companies will need to continue to improve their technology and develop market competition. New advantages.
