PERGASLOW PK-100 is used at ambient temperatures for lengthening: 1) the shelf life of SMC and BMC at ambient temperature. 2) the pot life of a mixture of UP resin / peroxide at ambient temperature. An advantage of PERGASLOW PK-100 in comparison with for example p-Benzoquinone is that PERGASLOW PK-100 is very effective at ambient temperature but hardly shows any influence on the cure at elevated and high temperature. The inhibitor should be added to the resin first to create a maximum effect. After proper mixing, the peroxide and the accelerator can be added. Depending on application area and working conditions, the following inhibitor dosage levels are recommended: PERGASLOW PK-100: 0,04 to 0,12 phr

Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 6 Months
- Product Handling and Storage
- Maximum storage temperature (Ts max) : 30°C
- Minimum storage temperature (Ts min) : 0°C
- Storage stability as from date of delivery : 6 months
- Direct contact with organic peroxides should be avoided because of risk of self-accelerating decomposition of the organic peroxide.
