Applications
Butanox® M-50 RED YM 1:6 is a general-purpose methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) used to cure unsaturated polyester resins at room temperature and high temperatures in the presence of cobalt accelerators. Butanox® M-50 RED YM 1:6 offers all the advantages of the standard MEKP, Butanox® M-50. Butanox® M-50 RED YM 1:6 contains a red indicator system that, in most cases, virtually disappears during the curing process. The red color appears during the mixing step when you need it, but disappears during the curing process. The Butanox® M-50 RED YM 1:6/cobalt accelerator curing system is particularly suitable for curing gel coat resins, laminating resins, clear coats, and castings; furthermore, unlike curing systems using benzoyl peroxide/amine accelerators, it allows for the production of light-resistant parts. Years of practical experience have proven that Butanox® M-50 RED YM 1:6 guarantees low water content and is free of polar compounds, making this peroxide ideal for GRP products, such as marine applications. For room-temperature applications, Butanox® M-50 RED YM 1:6 must be used in combination with a cobalt accelerator (e.g., Accelerator NL-49P).
