Applications
Cadox L-50a is an ideal catalyst for the room temperature cure of promoted unsaturated polyester resins. Cadox L-50a has a low hydrogen peroxide content which reduces gel coat porosity and provides improved curing of vinyl ester resins. Cadox L-50a also has a high MEKP dimer content which may provide better final cure in some resin systems. Additional end-use information is available in Nouryon’s brochures.
