Nouryon DCP Perkadox 14‑40B
Nouryon Perkadox 14‑40B is a bifunctional organic peroxide—di(tert‑butylperoxyisopropyl) benzene (BIPB)—formulated at 40% active content on an inert carrier (powder or granules). Unlike traditional dicumyl peroxide (DCP), this BIPB-based crosslinking agent offers a smell-free processing experience with lower odor emissions, making it ideal for premium rubber, cable, footwear, and specialty plastics manufacturers. This design ensures safe handling, accurate dosing, and excellent dispersion in elastomer and polyolefin compounds across Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Pune, Kolkata and other industrial clusters.
Perkadox 14‑40B serves as a superior alternative to standard DCP (dicotyl peroxide) for applications requiring reduced odor, improved scorch safety, and consistent crosslinking performance in EVA foams, XLPE cable insulation, rubber vulcanization, and polyethylene crosslinking.
Functional Features & Technical Detail
- 40% Active BIPB (Smell-Free Peroxide): Ensures efficient crosslinking in rubbers and polyolefins at lower peroxide loadings with minimal odor—a key advantage over traditional DCP.
- Carrier-Based Formulation: Off-white powder/granules improve flow, reduce dusting, and make dosing safer and more accurate compared to pure dicumyl peroxide.
- Bifunctional Peroxide Chemistry: Efficiently crosslinks NR, EPDM, HNBR, FKM, CPE, EVA, and other elastomers outperforming generic DCP in scorch safety.
- Excellent Scorch Safety: Allows longer mixing times and one-step processing for many compounds, reducing production complexity versus dicumyl peroxide systems.
- Proven Processing Window: Well-documented curing and safe processing temperatures for robust, reproducible results in Indian manufacturing environments.
- Low Odor, High Performance: Ideal for indoor processing, worker comfort, and compliance with Indian workplace safety standards.
Applications
Nouryon Perkadox 14‑40B (BIPB crosslinking agent) is trusted by Indian and global processors for:
- Rubber Crosslinking & Vulcanization: Used in natural rubber, EPDM, HNBR, FKM, and specialty elastomers for automotive hoses, seals, gaskets, and under-the-hood parts. Outperforms traditional DCP in scorch safety and odor control.
- Polyolefin & EVA Crosslinking: Key for XLPE cable insulation, EVA/PE foam, footwear soles, and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) parts—delivering superior heat, compression set, and mechanical strength with reduced smell compared to dicumyl peroxide.
- Industrial & Automotive: Enables high-performance hoses, rollers, and technical rubber articles across Delhi NCR, Mumbai, and Ahmedabad manufacturing hubs.
- Wire & Cable Insulation: Crosslinks PE and EVA in insulation and jacketing for enhanced thermal and chemical resistance—a smell-free alternative to DCP-based systems.
EVA Foam for Footwear & Sports: Produces resilient, durable foam with minimal processing odor—critical for large-scale footwear manufacturing in India.

Complementary Additives for Rubber & Polyolefin Compounds
Perkadox 14‑40B is typically used in combination with:
- Fillers and reinforcing agents (e.g., carbon black, silica) for mechanical tuning.
- Antioxidants and stabilizers to protect peroxide-cured polymers against thermal and oxidative degradation.
- Plasticizers, co-agents, and processing aids that refine flow, cure density, and surface finish in final parts.
A coherent additive package, combined with BIPB crosslinking, enables robust performance in automotive, cable, and industrial components for the Indian market.
