Cetox

Cetox-50 is a peroxide initiator for the copolymerization of unsaturated polyester resins. It is mainly used with cobalt accelerators at ambient temperature. Suitable for manual and spray lamination. In relation to the hardener Metox-50 it contains a lower amount of active oxygen, shows a longer copolymerization time and also a lower effect exothermic.

Threats

Oxidizing agent, decomposes rapidly under the influence of heat and pollution mechanical or through contact with reducing agents. You never must mix the hardener with the accelerator.
