Catalysts Features for Polyester Resin 

Catalysts are chemical compounds designed to act as initiators for the radical polymerization reaction.

This allows the resin to begin the curing process, transitioning from a liquid state to a solid state.

Some of the Main Features of Catalysts

  • Variable Reaction Rate: The reaction rate of the polymerization process can be adjusted by varying the quantity or type of catalyst to meet the specific needs of the production process.
  • High Compatibility with Resin: Catalysts are formulated to be compatible with a wide range of polyester resins, providing flexibility in application.
  • Thermal Stability: Catalysts belong to the peroxide class, with each catalyst characterized by a specific thermal stability range. This feature determines their suitability for use in a particular production process.
