Recommended Applications: PEROXAN A-50 M is used for the curing of unsaturated polyester resins at ambient temperature in combination with cobalt accelerators. PEROXAN A-50 M has been developped for the cure of thick GRP or polymer concrete parts. In comparison to PEROXAN ME-50 L and PEROXAN A-40 L, PEROXAN A-50 M shows a lower peak exotherm in these applications. Depending on working conditions, the following peroxide and accelerator dosage levels are recommended: PEROXAN A-50 M: 1,0 to 3,0 phr PERGAQUICK C12 X (Cobalt 1%): 0,5 to 2,0 phr
