Most solid fertilizers display a natural tendancy to form lumps or to cake during storage and transportation, to create dust or to pick up moisture. Whatever your constraints, the Lilamin^® ranges are tailor-made coating agents that successfully keep your fertilizers free-flowing, preventing caking, dusting and moisture uptake.

Sulfur compounds are commonly used as additives in lubricant formulations dedicated to Metal Working Fluids (MWF) and other industrial and automotive lubricants (hydraulic fluids, gear oils, greases, turbine oils). Our broad extreme pressure additives products range with or without active sulfur (TPS^®,VPS^®, SPS^® and esterol) allows you to fine-tune your formulation properties without unsaturated compounds and fully chlorine free.

The initiator plays a dominant role in the free radical synthesis of acrylic-based coating resins. Arkema offers a wide range of organic peroxide initiator under the trade name Luperox^® and helps to proper selection to ensure production of acrylic coatings with a focus on acrylic high-solid coatings (HSC) resins with low molecular weight, narrow polydispersity, low viscosity and reduced volatiles.

Arkema manufactures a wide range of organic peroxides for Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) production under the trade name Luperox^®. Arkema keeps on developing new products and services, such as higher conversion rate, lower global specific consumption, or safety standard during operation.

Arkema manufactures a wide range of organic peroxides for Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) production under the trade name Luperox^®. Arkema keeps on developing new products and services to allow higher conversion rate, lower global specific consumption, or better safety standard during operation.

Arkema offers a wide range of organic peroxides suitable for PVC production under the trade name Luperox^®. The choice of peroxide is driven by targeted K-value (rigid or flexible PVC). Most Luperox^® are liquid organic peroxides and are available in hydrocarbon solution or water-based emulsion.

Arkema provides a wide range of Luperox^®, Retic^®, Vul-Cup^®, or Di-Cup^® Bis-peroxide and DCP formulations that are can be extruded or injection molded the elastomer to achieve crosslinked rubber products in food grade or industrial applications. 

Photovoltaic (PV) panels are made by laminating components (glasses, cells, back sheets, etc.) with encapsulation films. Arkema offers a wide range of Luperox^® organic peroxides for the crosslinking of the EVA/POE encapsulation films and keeps on developing new products and services.

Arkema offers a large range of organic peroxide initiators under the trade name Luperox^® suitable for the different polystyrene technologies, such as General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS) and High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) continuous mass processes and expandable polystyrene (EPS) batch suspension process to make a wide variety of consumer products.

Arkema offers a large range of organic peroxide under the trade names Luperox^®, Retic^®, Vul-Cup^® or Di-Cup^® used as a cross-linking agent in semiconductor-layers of medium to high voltage cables. Organic peroxides can also be used as cross-linking agent for Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) and Ethylene Propylene diene monomer (EPDM) to improve mechanical performance, chemical resistance and electrical properties. CPE and EPDM are used in low voltage cable jacket layers, especially for home appliances that require very low odor level.

The addition of organic peroxides to the molten polypropylene during extrusion is called vis-breaking or controlled rheology of polypropylene (CRPP).
Main organic peroxides developped by Arkema under the trade name Luperox^® to be used are: di-tert-butyl peroxide, di-amyl-butyl peroxide and 2,5-dimethyl-2,5di(tert-butylperoxyl)-hexane.

Luperox^® , Vul-Cup^®  and Di-Cup^® organic peroxide formulations with Scorch Protection offer flexibility to mix, extrude, and mold rubber compounds at high temperatures while reducing loss due to scorch (premature crosslinking).

Luperox^® and Retic^® organic peroxides with different reactivity levels are available worldwide for high-temperature pultrusion and sheet or molding compound SMC/BMC curing applications.

Luperox^® and Retic^® organic peroxides includes a range of formulations for specialty markets including polyester or acrylic solid surfaces and two-part acrylic joining or anchoring adhesives.

Luperox^® and Retic^® brand peroxide are formulated to crosslink a variety of low and high durometer silicones in food grade or industrial applications. Each grade has a very fine particle size to mix easily.

Luperox^® pharmaceutical grade benzoyl peroxide is available for shipment anywhere worldwide.  A drug master file (DMF) is continuously maintained with the United States Food and Drug Administration, and the product complies with USP and PhEur monograph specifications.  Luperox^® pharmaceutical benzoyl peroxide is a fine free-flowing, water-wet powder with a very tightly controlled particle size dispersion. 

Luperox® diacyls are widely used as curing agents for unsaturated polyester resins used in molded composites, and for skin care to treat acne.  At larger scales, diacyls are useful in bulk polymerization of styrene to form expandable polystyrene.

Luperox^®, Vul-Cup^®, and Di-Cup^® dialkyl peroxides are initiators for high polymers and efficient crosslinking and viscosity modifiers for polyolefins, or vulcanizing agents for elastomers.  Arkema offers a variety of pure and inert-diluted grades, or specialty grades with scorch-protection.

Luperox^® peroxyketals are used to synthesize polystyrene resins, and as crosslinking agents for polyolefins or engineered rubber compounds. Luperox® peroxyketal initiators offer some of the highest activity available while remaining room-temperature stable.

Luperox^® tertiary-butyl and tertiary-amyl hydroperoxides are widely used as chemical intermediates and as free radical polymerization initiators.

Luperox^® peroxydicarbonate initiators are widely used for the polymerization of vinyl chloride, or in combination with Luperox® peroxyesters to polymerize ethylene or acrylic polymers.

Arkema offers a full range of Luperox^® peroxyester organic peroxide initiators to suit your needs. 
Peroxyesters offer the widest range of free radical activity out of all the classes of organic peroxides currently used worldwide. Arkema operates manufacturing plants in the USA, Mexico, Brazil, China, Korea, India, and Germany to serve the polymerization industry with these important products.
