Organic peroxides have one or more oxygen–oxygen bonds. They decompose thermally to produce two radicals. Specific promoters or activators, mainly multivalent metals like iron, cobalt, or vanadium, enhance decomposition rates.
They significantly lower the energy needed to break the oxygen–oxygen bond. Accelerated decompositions occur below the normal application temperatures of peroxides, usually resulting in only one useful radical instead of two.
