MEKP<br />

MEKP (MEtHyl EtHyl KEtonE PERoxiDE) is the most commonly used organic<br />

peroxide initiator. In North America, active oxygen content of MEKP provided by suppliers is typically<br />

in the area of 9%. The active oxygen content of organic initiator peroxide varies by geographical<br />

region. Fabricators should check with their local organic peroxide initiator supplier for specific<br />

active oxygen content guidelines. MEKP is typically used with cobalt napthanate (CoNAP) promoter<br />

and DMA/DEA accelerators for room temperature curing of most polyester and vinyl ester resins.<br />

Concentration of isomers/active oxygen variations of MEKP can provide additional cure flexibility<br />

with some resin and promoter systems. There are several versions of MEKP, for example, some<br />

have low dimer contents and others have high dimer contents. For vinyl ester resins, MEKP initiator<br />

with a high dimer content is the preferred initiator.<br />

Resin Additives QS Code 08..<br />

UltRAViolEt ABsoRBERs are typically added for applications that must resist the<br />

degrading effects of long-term exposure to sunlight. UV absorbers are used on the exterior portion of the laminate<br />

and where specified by the buyer. Most specifications define the amount and type of UV absorber. Alternatively, the<br />

recommendation of UV absorber manufacturers can be followed. UV absorbers are most commonly added to the top<br />

coat but may be added at a lower loading to the structural layer. CALL FOR PRICE AND AVAILABILITY.<br />

synERGists may be added to fire retardant resins to meet<br />

specifications calling for code flame spread requirements. The most<br />

commonly used fire retardant synergist fillers are antimony oxides.<br />

These products are used with halogenated resins to enhance the fire<br />

retardant properties. Addition of these products to non halogenated<br />

resins does not improve the flame resistance significantly. Antimony<br />

trioxide has been the most common product, and it should be<br />

incorporated with a high shear mixer in order to ensure that the particles<br />

are suitably dispersed into the resin. Frequent mixing is recommended to<br />

prevent settling in the resin. Liquid dispersions of antimony products are<br />

also available and preferred by many fabricators.<br />

Three specimens of Vipel ® K022-C series resin show the effect of synergist addition on translucency. The clear one has<br />

no synergists. The middle one contains 2.5% Nyacol ® APE3040. The most opaque one contains 1.5% antimony trioxide.<br />

CALL FOR PRICE AND AVAILABILITY.<br />

ABRAsion REsistAnt additives such as aluminum oxide, silica and silicon carbide can be added to resin<br />

to improve the abrasion resistance of the composite. Other fillers are generally prohibited in many corrosion-resistant<br />

equipment specifications. Occasionally, inert conductive fillers such as graphite or carbon black will be added to a resin<br />

to meet electrical conductivity requirements. Abrasion resistance of the composite can be improved through the use of<br />

hard, inert fillers such as silicon carbide. CALL FOR PRICE AND AVAILABILITY.<br />

DEFoAMinG AGEnts are occasionally needed to enhance release of air bubbles that form in the resin when<br />

cobalt and MEKP initiators are used. Foaming is less common when high dimer initiators are used than when low dimer<br />

imitators are used. Examples are byK ® -A 555 and Foam Kill. CALL FOR PRICE AND AVAILABILITY.<br />

VAPoR sUPPREssAnts can be added to resins to reduce styrene and other monomer emissions and are<br />

becoming a more important part in emission compliant issues. <strong>Resins</strong> containing these additives must be tested per<br />

the MACT specified test method to determine the particular emission reduction index for each additive in each resin.<br />

Fabricators also need to be aware that these additives can affect secondary bonding and in many cases this will need to<br />

be tested also. If secondary bonding is not an issue, paraffin wax can be used. For some applications where secondary<br />

bonding is necessary, byK-S 740/750 have been used. however, acceptable secondary bonding can never be assured<br />

when products such as these are used. It is always best to grind before applying secondary laminates.<br />

CALL FOR PRICE AND AVAILABILITY.<br />

initiators QS Code 08...<br />

Initiators, frequently referred to as catalysts, start the gelling process. Initiator is mixed into promoted<br />

resins immediately prior to use or are injected by spray gun. when practical it is best to pour additives<br />

into the vortex so that they do not cling to the side wall of the container. Initiator is injected into<br />

the promoted resin stream in spray-up equipment systems.<br />

CAUtion: Initiator is NEVER mixed with promoters or accelerators. The best procedure is to add<br />

initiators to resin that already contains promoters or accelerators. Direct contact of an initiator with<br />

a promoter or accelerator can create an explosive condition or cause a fire. Consult the MSDS for<br />

each of these materials for safe handling and storage.<br />

CHP (CUMEnE HyDRoPERoxiDE) is principally used with high reactivity vinyl ester<br />

resins such as Vipel F085 to provide lower exotherm temperatures and reduced shrinkage. ChP<br />

performs well with CoNAP/DMA formulations. ChP is also suitable for some other resins where<br />

slower cures are required or thicker laminates are made in a single pass without intermediate cure<br />

and exotherm stopping points. CALL FOR SIZE AND AVAILABILITY.<br />

initiators QS Code 08..<br />

BPo (BEnZoyl PERoxiDE) is available in powder form, as a paste or in a liquid<br />

emulsion. Powders and pastes are difficult to use and control. when bPO is required, emulsions with<br />

40% active bPO content are preferred for use with vinyl ester resins. when determining bPO additive<br />

concentration take into account the dilution factor. (<strong>Gel</strong> time tables are based on 98% active bPO.)<br />

bPO initiator with DMA accelerator is preferred for laminates in sodium hypochlorite service in place<br />

of conventional MEKP/CoNAP/DMA cure systems. The ratio of bPO to DMA is critical to avoid gel<br />

and cure inconsistencies. Post curing is required to achieve complete cure with bPO/DMA.<br />

088G DIMEThyLANILINE (DMA) GALLON<br />

DEA (n,n Di-EtHylAnilinE) can be substituted for DMA in some systems to extend gel times and<br />

than DMA. Consult the MSDS for current status. CALL FOR SIZE AND AVAILABILITY.<br />

inhibitors & <strong>Gel</strong> time Extenders QS Code 08..<br />

tBC (tERt BUtyl CAtECHol) is an inhibitor frequently added to styrene<br />

monomer to provide longer shelf life when the monomer is purchased in drum quantities.<br />

when any styrene containing TbC is added to promoted resin mixes, the resin gel<br />

time and cure characteristics may be altered. TbC as purchased is usually 85% active<br />

inhibitor and should be used very carefully. A very small amount of TbC can have a<br />

significant and inconsistent impact on gel and cure. Addition of small quantities is best<br />

controlled using a 5 or 10% solution in styrene and adjusting formulations accordingly.<br />

CAUtion: Care must be taken to prevent TbC solutions from contacting the skin.<br />

Refer to the MSDS. CALL FOR SIZE AND AVAILABILITY.<br />

2,4-PEntAnEDionE (2,4-P) is a gel time extender or retarder for vinyl ester resins; however, it is also<br />

a promoter for polyester resins. 2,4-P is recommended for long gel times because it has minimal effect on the<br />

ultimate cure. It is effective for MEKP and ChP initiator systems but is not effective with bPO initiator systems.<br />

Caution is needed using 2,4-P. Refer to the MSDS for handling instructions. Several of the tables in the Appendix<br />

of this publication demonstrate formulations where gel times have been adjusted through the use of 2,4-P.<br />
