Metox VLHP90 is a liquid peroxide initiator based on peroxides methyl ethyl ketone in an Ōalan plasticizer. Compared with the standard MEKP, the initiator contains a reduced content of hydrogen peroxide, water and methyl ethyl ketone. May be used for curing unsaturated polyester resins (UPR), gelcoats, in the presence of cobalt accelerator. Especially recommended for curing gel coats due to very low content of hydrogen peroxide, water and methyl ethyl ketone. This high purity initiator can be used wherever the use of Permix-MC96 is demonstrated too fast gelling. Compared to Metox-BW85, it has a shorter gel and hardening time.
