Applications
AKPEROX ER37 is used for curing unsaturated polyester (UP) resins at room and elevated temperatures in the presence of a cobalt accelerator (e.g., AKCOBALT 1% - 6%). Compared to AKPEROX A50, the AKPEROX ER37 + cobalt accelerator combination provides a faster cure speed. The gel time of AKPEROX ER37 is generally similar to AKPEROX A50. It is particularly suitable for pipe production and continuous manufacturing applications such as continuous lamination, RTM, centrifugal casting, and filament winding.
