Crosslinking

Crosslinking Product Recommendations:

By Polymer:

	Luperox® F	Luperox® DC	Luperox® 130	Luperox® 101	Luperox® 801	Luperox® 230	Luperox® 231
LDPE	1.2-1.8	1.5-2.5		1.4-2.0	1.4-2.0
HDPE			0.3-0.8	0.5-1.2
EVA	0.8-1.6	1.2-2.0		1.2	1.0-1.6	1.4-2.6	1.2-2.3
EPM/EPDM	1.6-3.2	2.4-5.4		1.7-3.4		3.2-6.3	2.4-6.0
CM	1.5-2.4	2.4-3.8		2.5-40		3.3-6.0	3.0-5.5
Q	0.2-1.0	0.5-2.0		0.4-1.5
NBR	0.5-1.5	0.9-1.7		1.1-2.0		1.2-2.2	1.0-2.0
SBR	0.4-1.0	0.7-1.5		0.7-1.2		0.8-1.8	0.7-1.6

The selection of the right peroxide will depend on various parameters.

Key:
LDPE	Low density polyethylene
HDPE	High density polyethylene
EVA	Ethyl-Vinyl acetate
EPM/EPDM	Ethylene-propylene monomers
CM	Chlorinated polyethylene
Q	Silicon rubbers
NBR	Butadiene acrylonitrile rubber
SBR	Styrene butadiene rubber

By Temperature:
Suggested maximum compounding temperature

The suggested maximum compounding temperature is the temperature at which the scorch time (ts05) is equal to 5 minutes. If this temperature is exceeded during compounding the peroxide can decompose and lead to undesired crosslinking or side reactions.
