CAS Number: 25155-25-3
UN Number: 3106
BIBP, also known as odorless DCP, boasts a production capacity of 11,000 tons annually. Currently, only four factories in China are equipped to manufacture this product, with Nouryon leading the market. Nouryon’s Perkadox 14S-FL claims a dominant 50% share of the Chinese market. On a global scale, Arkema and Nouryon share similar market positions. BIBP is primarily used for cross-linking both natural and synthetic rubbers, as well as thermoplastic polyolefins. The complexity and hazards associated with its production create a high barrier to entry, effectively preventing small-scale production.
Key Insights on BIBP:
1.Safety Protocols: The Self-Accelerating Decomposition Temperature (SADT) of BIBP is 80°C, with a recommended storage temperature of 20°C. Industry standards generally forgo the use of temperature-controlled transport, even during summer months.
2.Purity and Performance: BIBP's purity can reach up to 98%, nearing analytical grade with a theoretical active oxygen content of 9.45%. Nouryon’s Certificates of Analysis (COA) indicate that most shipments exceed a purity of 99.2%. BIBP is also available in a 40% compounded form, offered in both granular and powder variations.
3.Environmental Impact: With increasing consumer demand for environmentally friendly products with minimal odor, BIBP is gradually replacing DCP in the manufacturing of shoe materials and floor mats. The demand for BIBP remains robust.
4.Market Fluctuations: During the COVID-19 pandemic, BIBP was utilized in the degradation process of melt-blown materials, causing its price to spike to 1000 RMB/kg temporarily within China.
5.Packaging: Standard BIBP is packaged in non-recyclable 44.1-pound cartons, typically grouped into 4 x 5 kg cardboard boxes for distribution.
