PROCESS FOR INITIATING RADICAL REACTIONS EMPLOYING HYDROXIMIC ACID DERIVATIVES

摘要

PROCESS FOR INITIATING RADICAL REACTIONS EMPLOYING HYDROXIMIC ACID DERIVATIVES This disclosure relates to an improved process for initiating radical reactions employing a class of hydroximic acid derivatives as initiators. Radical reactions initiated by such hydroximic acid derivatives include copolymerisation of unsaturated polyester resins and cross-linking of polyethylene. The initiators of the present disclosure have a higher degradation temperature then found with typical peroxides.
