Di-Tert Butyl Peroxide (DTBP) 99.%

Di-Tert Butyl Peroxide (DTBP)

Di-tert-butyl peroxide or DTBP is an organic compound consisting of a peroxide group bonded to two tert-butyl groups. It is one of the most stable organic peroxides, due to the tert-butyl groups being bulky. It is a colorless liquid.
