Benzoyl peroxide is widely utilized as a radical initiator to induce polymerizations. It finds applications for acne treatment, for bleaching flour, hair and teeth and for cross-linking polyester resins. It also has major applications in antiseptic and bleaching properties. It serves as a catalyst for polyester thermoset resins and as a hardener to start the polymerization process.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
