PEROXAN PO-50 P is used for the curing of unsaturated polyester resins at high temperatures. PEROXAN PO-50 P is preferred for the curing of UP resin based hot press molding formulations in the temperature range from 100° to 140°C. As PEROXAN PO-50 P is a high reactive peroxide, it is very suitable as a kicker in formulations for pultrusion and SMC/BMC. In combination with a cobalt accelerator e.g. PERGAQUICK C12 X (Cobalt, 1%), PEROXAN PO-50 P is applicable for the cure of UP resins in the temperature range of 60°C and higher. PEROXAN PO-50 P has normally a much shorter pot life in the pure resin than PEROXAN PB, tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate. Depending on application and working conditions, the following peroxide and when applicable cobalt accelerator dosage levels are recommended: PEROXAN PO-50 P: 2,0 to 4,0 phr PERGAQUICK C12 X (Cobalt, 1%): 0,5 to 3,0 phr
