PEROXAN MI-60 KPX+ is used for the curing of unsaturated polyester resins as such or in presence of a cobalt accelerator in the temperature range of 60° to 150°C. PEROXAN MI-60 KPX+ an be used in combination with a cobalt accelerator for those applications where a long gel time or production time is required at ambient temperature and a fast cure at higher temperatures e.g. 60° to 150°C. Applications can be filament winding and production of flat and corrugated sheets. PEROXAN MI-60 KPX+ has been developped to help further decrease the residual styrene content in final parts. Depending on working conditions, the following peroxide and accelerator dosage levels are recommended: PEROXAN MI-60 KPX+: 1,0 to 3,0 phr PERGAQUICK C12 X (Cobalt, 1%): 0,5 to 3,0 phr
