Applications
Butanox® LPT-IN VRN is a methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) for the curing of unsaturated polyester resins in the presence of a cobalt accelerator at room and elevated temperatures. Butanox® LPT-IN VRN gives in comparison with most other ketone peroxides a significantly longer gel time and is therefore particularly suitable for those applications where a long gel time or production time is required, for instance in the production of large parts and in filament winding. The Butanox® LPT-IN VRN includes a vanishing red indicator system that virtually disappears during cure. The red color is there when you need it i.e. during the mixing step, but will disappear during cure.
