Recommended Applications: PEROXAN DC-80 P is used for the curing of unsaturated polyester resins at elevated temperatures. PEROXAN DC-80 P is preferred for the curing of UP resin based hot press molding formulations in the temperature range from 130° to 170°C. It is specially suitable for GMC; as a solid it ensures good homogenization in the compound. The stability of this Dialkyl peroxide in an UP resin is hardly influenced by the presence of metal accelerators, pigments or fillers. Depending on working conditions, the following peroxide dosage level is recommended: PEROXAN DC-80 P: 1,0 to 2,5 phr
