Benzoyl Peroxide | 94-36-0

Description :

Overview Benzoyl Peroxide

Benzoyl Peroxide is an organic compound belonging to the peroxide family. As a premier Industrial Chemical Supplier, Chemical Bull provides high-quality Benzoyl Peroxide in various forms, including anhydrous, hydrous (75% concentration), and paste, to suit specific manufacturing requirements.

Identified by CAS 94-36-0, this white crystalline solid is a powerful oxidizing agent. It is globally recognized for its ability to release free radicals, making it the gold standard for both medicinal skin treatments and the industrial curing of resins and plastics.

Applications of Benzoyl Peroxide

Dermatology & Personal Care

 The Anti-Acne Gold Standard Benzoyl Peroxide is a flagship active ingredient in the Pharmaceutical Excipients

• Antimicrobial Action: Unlike antibiotics, BPO kills P. acnes bacteria by introducing oxygen into the pores, to which the bacteria cannot adapt.

• Keratolytic Effect: It helps peel away dead skin cells and clear blocked follicles. It is often formulated with Lactic Acid for comprehensive skin-renewing treatments.

• Tooth Whitening: Used in professional dental bleaching gels for its deep-stain oxidizing capabilities.

Plastics & Polymer Industry

• Polymerization Initiator: BPO is used to trigger the polymerization of many resins, including unsaturated polyesters and acrylics.

• Rubber Vulcanization: Acts as a cross-linking agent for silicone and fluorocarbon rubbers, enhancing their heat resistance and durability.

Food & Flour Treatment In specific regulatory markets, it is used as a flour bleaching agent (E928) to whiten flour and improve baking qualities by oxidizing the natural carotenoids.

Safety, Handling & Professional Storage

Due to its reactive nature, professional handling is a top priority:

• Handling: Benzoyl Peroxide is a strong oxidizer and can be flammable or explosive if friction or heat is applied to the anhydrous (dry) form. Use non-sparking tools and appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), including safety goggles and gloves.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from heat sources, sparks, and reducing agents. Hydrous grades (containing water) are much safer to handle and store than the pure anhydrous form.

• Regulatory Compliance: Our Benzoyl Peroxide is supplied with a comprehensive COA and MSDS, meeting the rigorous safety standards for pharma and industrial grade distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
 

1. Why is Benzoyl Peroxide often sold as a "hydrous" 75% powder? 

   Pure (anhydrous) Benzoyl Peroxide is shock-sensitive and potentially explosive. Adding 25% water makes it much more stable and safer for transport and industrial handling.
   
   

2. Is Benzoyl Peroxide (CAS 94-36-0) safe for sensitive skin? 

   While highly effective, BPO can be drying. Formulators often pair it with humectants like Propylene Glycol to improve skin tolerance.
   
   

3. Can BPO be used for curing epoxy resins?
   

   BPO is primarily used for unsaturated polyester and acrylic resins. For epoxies, different curing agents (like amines) are typically required.
