Siperox® DHBP (commonly known as DHBP, 101, or 'Dicumyl Peroxide Analog') is an efficient, high-temperature organic peroxide crosslinking agent. It is particularly valued for its lack of volatility and low odor compared to other peroxides, making it an excellent choice for producing vulcanizates with high tensile strength and controlled elongation, especially in silicone rubber (VMQ) applications.
