Butanox LA is a methyl ethyl ketone peroxide(MEKP) for the curing of unsaturated polyester resins in the presence of a cobalt accelerator at room and elevated temperatures.
The curing system Butanox LA/cobalt accelerator is particularly suitable for the curing of gelcoat resins, laminating resins and lacpuers when a longer gel time is required than can be obtaing with a standard MEKP.
Moreover the manufacture of light resistant parts may be possible contrary to the curing system benzoyl peroxide/amine accelerator.
Practical experience throughout many year has proven that by the fuaranteed low water content and the absence of polar compounds in Butanox LA, this peroxide is very suitable in GRP products for e.g. marine applications.
Because the Butanox LA has a low hydrogen peroxide content, this peroxide can very succesfully be used for the cure of those gelcoats which tend to microporosity caused by the decomposition of the hydrogen peroxid.
For room temperature application it is necessary to use Butanox LA together with a cobalt accelertor(e.g.Accelerator NL-49P). |
