tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB) an organic compound with the formula C₆H₅CO₃CMe₃ (Me = CH₃). It is the most widely produced perester; it is an ester of peroxybenzoic acid (C₆H₅CO₃H). It is often used as a radical initiator in polymerization reactions, such as the production of LDPE from ethylene, and for crosslinking, such as for unsaturated polyester resins.
