Ethylene peroxide exists?

Ethylene peroxide exists?

Ethylene peroxide exists?

(OP)
Hello forum,

I have a weird problem. A clients wants some manufacturers of Ethylene peroxide. I can't find any, better yet, I can't find the substance.

There is a good chance the translation was messed up, but the original demand was "peroxido de etileno".

Can anyone tell what i am looking for?

Thank you.

RE: Ethylene peroxide exists?

Ethylene oxide - yes, but Ethylene peroxide must be a typing mistake.

Could it be that the intention was epóxido de etileno?

Good observations, I came to the same conclussion as you can't have a couple of oxygen atoms tied in to an ethylene chain. So ethylene oxide is probably the best guess.

Anyone ever heard of EMSORB 6919. Apparently it's the product name for whatever this oxide is. Emery Industries was suppose to manufacture it, and ExpotechUSA to sell it, but neigher of these have it on their website, or google, or anywhare.

Tricky one.

20 years ago I worked with an EMSORB surfactant.  I forget the specific one.  Henkel used to make and market EMSORB products.  The EMSORB  family spanned from the hydrophobic Sorbitan fatty acid esters to the hydrophilic ethoxylate (EO) of the same ester.

Good luck,
Latexman
