Features & Benefits
- Features
- Acts as an inhibitor or retarding agent in unsaturated polyesters
- Used in pre-accelerated resins to improve storage stability
- Suppresses excessive warming when used with cobalt accelerators, thus preventing discolorations, surface imperfections and damage to the substrate
- Can extend pot life
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Casting resins, surfacers and coatings based on unsaturated polyesters.
- Dosage
- In unsaturated polyesters, the addition of copper metal is between 0.001 and 0.010 %, calculated on total formulation. The exact amount required depends on the binder used and should always be determined in preliminary trials.
