COLORED ORGANIC PEROXIDE COMPOSITIONS

The present invention provides stable organic peroxide compositions that include at least one dye, for example, an FD&C dye (e.g., FD&C Blue #1 and/or FD&C Red #40 and/or FD&C Red #3 and/or FD&C Yellow #6). In one aspect of the invention, colored organic peroxide compositions are stabilized by the addition of at least one alcohol. The end uses of the organic peroxide compositions of the present invention are not particularly limited. For example, the organic peroxide compositions may be used in the manufacture of polymers. In some preferred embodiments, use of the colored peroxides disclosed herein provides color to the final product, including composites. In other embodiments, the use of colored peroxides provides visual confirmation that the proper peroxide was used in the appropriate concentration. L'invention concerne des compositions de peroxyde organique stables comprenant au moins un peroxyde organique (par exemple de l'hydroperoxyde de tert-butyle), au moins un colorant (par exemple un colorant FD&C), et au moins un alcool (par exemple du propylène glycol, du tert-butanol, et/ou de la glycérine).
