Dicumyl Peroxide (DCP) is a commonly used plastic additive in the plastics industry. It is a free-radical initiator used to initiate the polymerization of vinyl monomers and other polymers. DCP is used to improve the physical properties of plastics, such as impact strength, heat resistance, and flame retardancy. It is also used to improve the processability of plastics, such as molding and extrusion. DCP is available in a variety of forms, including powder, granules, and liquid. The demand for DCP is driven by the growth of the plastics industry, particularly in the automotive and construction sectors. The increasing demand for plastics in these sectors is expected to drive the demand for DCP in the coming years. Some of the major companies in the DCP market include BASF, Dow Chemical, Evonik Industries, AkzoNobel, and Clariant. Show Less Read more
