Accelerators Features for Polyester Resins 

Accelerators, also known as promoters, are chemical compounds that activate the decomposition of peroxides at temperatures lower than their typical decomposition temperatures, thereby speeding up the polymerization process of the resin. The selection of the most suitable accelerator depends on the type of peroxide intended for use in the formulation.

Some of the Main Features of Accelerators

  • Controlled Reactivity: The dosage and type of accelerator allow for precise control over the reactivity during the curing process. This detail is crucial depending on the application requirements, as it enables varying reactivity levels that can fluctuate with seasonal changes and external temperatures.
  • Wide Activation Temperature Range: Each accelerator has a minimum activation temperature, above which it starts to react. This property allows for optimal adjustment of the production process.
  • High Compatibility with Resin: The accelerators offered are formulated to be compatible with a wide variety of polyester resins and applications.
  • Omogeneità nella polimerizzazione: sono composti chimici studiati per garantire una polimerizzazione uniforme su tutta la massa della resina, in modo tale da ridurre possibili difetti e aree non polimerizzate.
