Applications
AKPEROX HC9 is used with a cobalt accelerator (AKCOBALT 10%) at 60˚C or higher for the curing of unsaturated polyester resins. Main applications are artificial marble, polymer concrete, filament winding, and air-drying lacquers. The combination of AKPEROX HC9 with a cobalt accelerator and possibly an amine accelerator (like N,N-dimethylaniline) is also suitable for curing vinyl ester resins at room temperature. Compared to commonly used peroxides, AKPEROX HC9 provides a much faster cure in these resins.
