Note

*) Gel time and reactivity will vary due to the type and concentration of Free Radical Initiator (catalyst), shop temperature, humidity, and type of fillers used. In order to meet your individual needs consult our technical sales representative for assistance. If using methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) to gel and cure CoREZYN® vinyl ester resins we recommend only these three brands: Cadox® L-50a (Akzo Nobel); Luperox® DHD-9 (Arkema); and Norox® MEKP-925H (United Initiators). These must be used at the appropriate percentage and suitable temperature. Contact your Interplastic Corporation representative for assistance.
