TECHNICAL INFORMATION NOROX MEKP-9 11/10 NOROX HDP-75

NOROX HDP-75
DESCRIPTION
NOROX HDP-75 is a solution of Methyl ethyl ketone peroxides and Cumyl hydroperoxide in phlegmatiser. NOROX HDP-75 is a liquid polymerisation initiator for the room temperature cure of unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins with the following advantages/properties: Very low peak exotherm temperature No viscosity build up i.e. better wetting properties between glass and resin Does not affect the green strength development Slower gel time then standard MEKP, for many resins. Excellent final cure both in thin and thick laminates Low impurity levels (water, MEK, salts) Less shrinkage and stress problems

APPLICATION
NOROX HDP-75 is an excellent initiator for unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resin, when a lower peak exotherm is desired. Gel times will be slower compared to standard ANDONOX/NOROX MEKP products (i.e. KP-9, MEKP-925, -925H, etc) but final cured resin hardness is often better than for resins initiated with standard MEKPs. NOROX HDP-75 reduces or eliminates viscosity build up during the pre gel zone (thickening leading edge affect) commonly seen in conventional MEKP products. These properties lead to faster injection times in closed mould processes, such as vacuum infusion and RTM, and better wetting properties between the glass and the resin. The curing behaviour of NOROX HDP-75 reduces stress, cracking and shrinking problems in laminates & castings. Less shrinkage also means less fibre print through of gel coated surfaces. NOROX HDP-75 can be used when you want to build up thick laminates in one step, or if the laminate has big variations in thickness, or when you have high resin loadings. Typical applications are vacuum bag moulding (vacuum infusion) of big units, filament winding of pipes & tanks with thicker laminates or polyester concrete systems with high resin-to-filler ratio. Last but not least the NOROX HDP-75 does not affect the green strength development.
