Cetox-50 is a peroxide initiator for the copolymerization of unsaturated polyester resins. It is mainly used with cobalt accelerators at ambient temperature. Suitable for manual and spray lamination. In relation to the hardener Metox-50 it contains a lower amount of active oxygen, shows a longer copolymerization time and also a lower effect exothermic.
