Organic peroxides are used as polymerization initiators and crosslinking agents for synthetic resins and synthetic rubber contained in products such as plastics, films, and housings for audio-visual equipment. NOF began selling organic peroxides in 1957, and since then has been a leading manufacturer both in Japan and abroad, supported by a strong reputation for quality and new product development.
