Molecular drawing:
Brand:Trigonox®
Chemical family:Organic peroxide
CAS number:1338-23-4
Physical form:Liquid
Chemical name:Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, solution in dimethyl phthalate
Applications:Butanox® M-50 is a general purpose 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® M-50/cobalt accelerator is particularly suitable for the curing of gelcoat resins, laminating resins, lacquers and castings; moreover the manufacture of light resistant parts may be possible contrary to the curing system benzoyl peroxide/amine accelerator. Practical experience throughout many years has proven that by the guaranteed low water content and the absence of polar compounds in Butanox® M-50, this peroxide is very suitable in GRP products for e.g. marine applications.
