The technology is flexible and can produce cumene from a variety of propylene sources including refinery, chemical and polymer grades. The conversion of propylene is typically higher than 99.999%, and the yield loss is typically less than 0.3% of the total raw materials consumed. According to the invention, an acidic monomer with four polymerizable functional group is employed. Cumene hydroperoxide, a thermally stable and acid-tolerant hydroperoxide acts as the oxidizer for the redox initiator and is included in the paste together with the acidic monomer. Cumene hydroperoxide is a colorless to pale yellow liquid chemical used as a polymerization inhibitor particularly in redox systems and to manufacture organic peroxides, primarily dicumylperoxide, which are used in the manufacture of plastic resins and as initiators in chemical reactions. Product Overview: Cumene, a propylene derivative, is produced by UOP process technology and is used for the production of phenol, a key ingredient for the production of acetone, phenolic resins, polycarbonate resins, and epoxy resins (i.e. super glue). Applications: Background. In line with the further thriving demand for downstream derivatives of allyl alcohol, cumene and vinyl acetate monomer worldwide, Chang Chun Group decide to expand the operation of allyl alcohol, cumene and vinyl acetate monomer in Singapore. Plastic is produced from plastic raw material, usually this material called as monomer in general chemistry. Monomer than be converted into polimer that have plastic properties. Many kind of monomers used as plastic material, for example is Phenol. Phenol has been made, over the years by a variety of processes. Badger cumene technology produces cumene from benzene and propylene. The reactions take place in the liquid phase and are catalyzed in fixed beds by proprietary zeolite catalysts available through ExxonMobil.
