Abstract
Abstract A safe, dry and free-flowing solid peroxide/unsubstituted or alkyl substituted benzoic acid composition is prepared by mixing the solid peroxide, such as diacyl peroxide, dialkyl peroxydicarbonate, dialkyl peroxide or alkylidene diperoxide, which melts above 30° C., with solid benozic acid or an alkyl substituted benzoic acid, which melts above 40° C. This solid peroxide composition is used as an initiator for the polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers, such as styrene, and for curing of unsaturated polyester resins and diethylene glycol bis(allyl carbonate). This solid peroxide composition exhibits improved safety characteristics such as delayed ignition times when in contact with a flame and increased thermal stabilities compared to similar prior art peroxide formulations.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
A solid, dry, free-flowing peroxide/unsubstituted or alkyl substituted benzoic acid composition consisting essentially of: 40 to 85% by weight of a solid peroxide having a melting point above 30° C. and selected from the group consisting of substituted or unsubstituted diacyl peroxides, dialkyl peroxydicarbonates, dialkyl peroxides, and alkyl hydroperoxides, 15to 60% by weight of a solid unsubstituted or substituted benzoic acid wherein the substituent is an alkyl of 1 to 4 carbons, and 0.0 to 2.0% by weight of a dust suppressant.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
82 words
A solid, dry, free-flowing peroxide/unsubstituted or alkyl substituted benzoic acid composition consisting essentially of: 40 to 85% by weight of a solid peroxide having a melting point above 30° C. and selected from the group consisting of substituted or unsubstituted diacyl peroxides, dialkyl peroxydicarbonates, dialkyl peroxides, and alkyl hydroperoxides, 15to 60% by weight of a solid unsubstituted or substituted benzoic acid wherein the substituent is an alkyl of 1 to 4 carbons, and 0.0 to 2.0% by weight of a dust suppressant.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
The solid peroxide composition of claim 1 wherein the solid peroxide is selected from the group consisting of dibenzoyl peroxide, di-(2-methylbenzoyl)peroxide, di-(2-phenoxyethyl)peroxydicarbonate, di-(4-t-butylcyclohexyl)peroxydicarbonate, dibenzyl peroxydicarbonate, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-dihydroperoxyhexane, di-cumyl peroxide, and 1,3-di[1-methyl-1-(t-butylperoxy)ethyl]benzene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
