What are the applications of zinc peroxide?
Zinc peroxide compound is used in the blowing composition in preparing a foamed product of high-melting synthetic resin such as polyamides, polyolefins, polyesters, polycarbonates, ABS resins, polysulfones, etc. It is a preferred accelerator in the vulcanisation of polysulphide rubber in order to produce oil and aging resistant rubberwares like sealants, tubes, rollings, etc. It may be applied in accelerated vulcanisation of nitril-carboxyl rubber to produce an attrition resistant rubber. The zinc peroxide compound is used as a curing agent in carboxylated NBR, it has the advantage of improved scorch resistance and storage stability of the uncured rubber compounds. Zinc peroxide may function as an oxidant and oxygen donor in compositions or mixtures containing explosive materials. Such compositions are, for example, explosives or pyrotechnical compositions. In ceramic composition for dielectrics, zinc peroxide serves to facilitate burnout or removal of the organic binder during firing
