Patent No. EP3692092 (titled "Powder Mixture Comprising Organic Peroxide") was filed by Nouryon Chemicals on Oct 2, 2018. The application was issued on Dec 7, 2022.
A powder mixture comprises 20-80 wt% of one or more powdered organic peroxides, specifically dibenzoyl peroxide or substituted dibenzoyl peroxides (preferably di(4-methylbenzoyl) or di(2-methylbenzoyl) peroxide), 20-80 wt% of a powdered filler material, and 0-20 wt% water. At least 60 wt% of the filler material consists of a solid inorganic flame retardant, such as aluminium trihydroxide (ATH), magnesium dihydroxide (MDH), hydrotalcite, organically modified hydrotalcite, or combinations thereof, including hydrated forms. The mixture serves as a safer, low-water alternative to BaSO4-based compositions for use as a curing agent in coating compositions, unsaturated polyester, vinyl ester, and (meth)acrylate resin systems, or as an initiator in radical polymerization processes.

Patent oppositions filed by competitors challenge the validity of a granted patent. These oppositions are typically based on claims of prior art, lack of novelty, or non-obviousness. They are a key part of the process for determining a patent's strength and enforceability.
The dossier documents provide a comprehensive record of the patent's prosecution history - including filings, correspondence, and decisions made by patent offices - and are crucial for understanding the patent's legal journey and any challenges it may have faced during examination.
