Lianku (DMDPB) has excellent comprehensive performance and there are more related domestic projects under construction and planned.

The chemical name of DMDPB is 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-diphenylbutane. Due to the particularity of its structure, the C-C bonds between the corresponding quaternary carbon atoms are not very stable and are easily dissociated to form Free radicals, mainly used as flame retardant synergist and cross-linking copolymerization catalyst. The appearance of Lianku is white or light yellow powder. Compared with free radical initiators such as peroxides and azo compounds, Lianku products have the advantages of high stability, safe use, good environmental protection performance, and strong antioxidant capacity.

Lianqu can be used as a flame retardant synergist, flame retardant synergist, grafting catalyst, cross-linking initiator, etc. in flame retardant polystyrene, polypropylene, brominated flame retardants, phosphorus flame retardants, bromine phosphorus In the fields of composite flame retardants and engineering plastics. In the halogen antimony flame retardant system, Lianku can reduce the dosage of halogen flame retardant and antimony trioxide, which can reduce costs and increase efficiency, improve polymer performance, suppress smoke and reduce toxicity.

In recent years, as environmental protection supervision has become increasingly strict, the market application of traditional flame retardants has been restricted due to factors such as low flame retardant efficiency, large dosage, and environmental pollution. Green, efficient, and low-toxic flame retardants have become the main development direction of the flame retardant market. Lianku is one of the earliest free radical initiators used as flame retardant synergist. With its non-toxic, smoke-suppressing, low-cost and other characteristics, Lianku has attracted more and more market attention.

According to the “China Lianku (2,3-dimethyl-2,3-diphenylbutane) industry market from 2021 to 2025 released by the Industrial Research Center Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report” shows that in recent years, with the continuous in-depth research and the upgrading of market demand, the scale of the Lianku market has gradually expanded. In the international market, the main suppliers of Lianku products include Clariant, Dow, Synthonix, etc. At this stage, the companies engaged in the research and production of Lianku and related products in my country mainly include Guangzhou Xijia Chemical Co., Ltd., Inner Mongolia Pulita Materials Technology, Hubei Shixing Chemical Industry, Nanjing Hongbaoli, Tianfeng Fine Chemicals, Beijing Bailingwei Technology, etc.

According to different application fields, cascades can be divided into industrial cascades, pharmaceutical cascades, reagent cascades, etc. In recent years, with the development of the flame retardant industry, market demand for Lianku has gradually been released. Attracted by the good market prospects, Lianku has more projects under construction and planned. For example, in 2020, Anhui’s annual output will be 1,500 tons/year 2,3- The dimethyl-2,3-diphenylbutane series product project has started; in 2021, Hongbaoli Group Taixing Chemical Co., Ltd. will build a new 500-ton Lianqu (2,3-dimethyl-2,3-di Phenylbutane) and 650 tons acetophenone technical transformation project.

Industry analysts said that Lianku has the characteristics of high stability, safe use, and good environmental performance. It is mainly used as an initiator, Grafting agents, flame retardant additives, etc. are used in engineering plastics, flame retardant polyolefins and other fields. Lianku is in line with the current trend of environmental protection and green consumption. There are a large number of domestic production companies. As related projects under construction and planned are put into production, my country’s Lianku production capacity will be further improved, and the future market development space will be broad.
