Applications
Trigonox® 65 is an organic peroxide mixture with methyl ethyl ketone peroxide and acetylacetone peroxide for the curing of unsaturated polyester resins in the presence of a cobalt accelerator at room and elevated temperatures. With the curing system Trigonox® 65/cobalt accelerator a faster speed of cure can be obtained than with Butanox M-50; however the high cure rates achieved with Trigonox® 44B are not attainable. The gel times with Trigonox® 65 are in general similar to those with Trigonox® 63. The curing system Trigonox® 65/cobalt accelerator is particularly suitable for the curing of laminating resins, and for applications where a shorter demoulding time is required than obtained with Trigonox® 63. Moreover the manufacture of light resistant parts may be possible contrary to the curing system benzoyl peroxide/amine accelerator. For room temperature application it is necessary to use Trigonox® 65 together with a cobalt accelerator (e.g. Accelerator NL-49PN).
