MANDATORY CURE SYSTEM: Requires 1.25% to 2.0% MEKP (UN3105) or Cumene Hydroperoxide (CHP) for low-exotherm thick laminates. Never mix Cobalt promoter directly with MEKP.
Required Companion Material Groups for Marine & Novolac Vinyl Ester Resins:
- MEKP & Cumene Hydroperoxide Catalysts (1.25% – 2.0% by weight)
- Cobalt Octoate 6% / DMA Cure Promoters
- E-Glass & E-CR Stitched Multiaxials (1708 / 1808)
