Nouryact® Cobalt-free accelerators

Cobalt carboxylates, such as cobalt octoate, are subject to ECHA reclassification and may become a SVHC in due course. To help make the transition to cobalt-free curing, we offer a cobalt-free accelerator portfolio available under Nouryact® and Accelerator™ brands. For more product details, feel free to check out our featured products below.

Our cobalt-free accelerators are ready for use as a replacement for the cobalt accelerator you are presently using. These materials are also particularly suitable for the manufacturing of composites based on natural fibers, such as flax, and they can be used for manufacturing end products which need to be food contact compliant.

If you are interested, please contact us by emailing or filling out the contact form below, or contact your local Nouryon account manager.

Curing with Nouryact® accelerators allows our customers to easily switch from glass to flax fibers while maintaining mechanical properties. Drying flax and keeping it in confined storage is not necessary. In fact, the mechanical properties of the non-dried flax fiber composite using UP or VE resins are similar to an epoxy-based laminate using dried fibers under the same conditions. Since the pre-drying and separate storage of dried flax fibers is no longer needed, it makes the use of these natural fibers easy and cheap. This can allow more companies to start using biofibers for their composite end-products.
