Benzoyl peroxide is a widely used organic compound with the chemical formula C14h10o4. It appears as a white crystalline powder with a slight odor, and it has various applications across different industries due to its strong oxidizing properties.
Appearance: White crystalline powder.
Odor: Slight characteristic odor.
Solubility: Soluble in benzene, chloroform, ether, and slightly soluble in ethanol and water.
Stability: Highly unstable; it can decompose explosively when subjected to heat, friction, impact, or contact with reducing agents.
Decomposition Temperature: Decomposes at around 103–106°C.

*Benzoyl peroxide is commonly used as an initiator in the polymerization of unsaturated polyester resins, acrylic esters, and other vinyl monomers. It generates free radicals upon decomposition, initiating the polymerization process.
*It is also used in the curing of rubber and as a cross-linking agent for polymers.
*In dermatology, benzoyl peroxide is a key ingredient in acne treatments. It works by releasing oxygen, which kills the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes that contribute to acne. It also helps in exfoliating the skin and reducing inflammation.
*It is available in various formulations, including gels, creams, and washes, typically in concentrations ranging from 2.5% to 10%.
*Historically, benzoyl peroxide was used as a flour bleaching agent in the food industry. However, its use in food has been restricted or banned in many countries due to safety concerns.
*It is used as an oxidizing agent in various chemical reactions, including the oxidation of alcohols and the synthesis of certain organic compounds.
*Hazards: Benzoyl peroxide is a strong oxidizer and can pose fire and explosion hazards. It is also irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.
*Storage: It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat, sparks, and incompatible materials. It is often stabilized by being diluted with inert substances like calcium sulfate or water.
*Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): When handling benzoyl peroxide, appropriate PPE, including gloves, goggles, and protective clothing, should be worn to minimize exposure.
Packing: 25kg/Carton or 20kg/Carton. We provide customized package for different quantity.
Shipping: by express DHL,FEDEX,TNT......or as your requirement.
Payment: T/T,western union,moneygram or as your requirement.
