Organic peroxides are organic compounds comprising the peroxide functional group. They are used to initiate polymerization process, which produces plastic polymers. The organic peroxides are vital in the production of plastics like polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride and composite products like fiberglass. They are essential for polymerization of styrene, vinyl chloride, ethylene, and acrylic monomers.  This activity delivers commonly known everyday polymers for food packaging, paint and coatings, and construction materials among others. The organic peroxides are also essential for traditional and advanced composites replacing structural metal in automobiles, wind energy, aerospace, or recreational markets. Moreover, they are often used to cure liquid resins covered on fiberglass or carbon fibers, forming a strong yet very lightweight matrix.

Organic Peroxide Market Outlook

The global organic peroxide market is observing noteworthy growth owing to rising demand from polymer industry. Moreover, the overall market is also being propelled by growth in the application areas of organic peroxide such as, chemicals & plastics, coatings, adhesives & elastomers, detergents, paper & textiles, personal care and others. Development of more multi-functional organic peroxides would further provide significant growth opportunities to this market. However, the global organic peroxide market is hampered by safety issues restricting import & export and regulations related to organic peroxide use in food packaging or food-contact applications.
