Applications
EFOX 160 is used for the curing of highly filled methacrylic resins, usually in combination with other curing agents with different reactivities, such as EFOX 30 (TBPB), AKPEROX PK 295 S50, or EFOX 10. EFOX 160 exhibits high reactivity at elevated temperatures, which is manifested by its low activation temperature and relatively long pot life at ambient temperature. EFOX 160 is primarily used in combination with low-reactivity peroxides to ensure a good final cure. These peroxide combinations can be successfully used in applications that require a long gel time at room temperature and a fast cure at high temperatures from 60°C to 140°C. Application areas can be cured-in-place pipe (CIPP), pultrusion, filament winding, and artificial marble manufacturing. Depending on the working conditions, the following dosage levels are recommended: EFOX 160 by itself: 1.0 to 2.0 phr; EFOX 160 as a kicker: 0.5 to 1.0 phr.
