Bisomer® PTE

Bisomer® PTE is an aromatic tertiary amine used as an amine activator for organic peroxide initiation, ideal for use in formulations using dibenzoyl peroxide (BPO). It has reduced toxicity. Bisomer® PTE is extensively used to activate MMA based acrylic resins, styrene-based unsaturated polyesters and vinyl ester methacrylate formulations. It is ideal in a wide range of applications, including acrylic flooring, adhesives, chemical fixings, roadmarking paints, anchor bolts and chemical mortars. In unsaturated polyesters (UPE), Bisomer® PTE has a number of advantages over more commonly used activators: it is less toxic and so has reduced labeling, has a low odor both in handling and residual post polymerisation systems. The ease of handling is due to its syrup-like consistency and it may be used as a diol to incorporate into an UPE backbone through a condensation reaction with suitable polybasic carboxylic acids.
