CUROX? M-100 is a methyl ethyl ketone peroxide for the curing of unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins. The following is the main information about this product:

Appearance and properties:

• Colorless, flowable liquid containing a peroxide based on methyl ethyl ketone, desensitized by a phthalate plasticizer.
• The product is suitable for curing unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins with cobalt accelerators at room temperature.
• Oxygen content: 9.51 TP3T minimum.
• The density is about 1.148 g/cm3 and the viscosity is about 23 mPa-s.

Applications:

• Mainly used as curing agent for unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins.
• For use in combination with cobalt accelerators at room temperature, the recommended dosage is 1-3% of the supply.
• The "shelf life" is usually only a few hours, depending on the temperature and type of resin.
• The "stirring time" is relatively short, especially when phthalic acid resins are used, and can be extended by adding inhibitors.

Curing performance:

• For use with vinyl ester (VE) resins, provides shorter gel and cure times relative to the use of Curox M-200 or Curox M-300.
• Suitable for use with polyester resins for longer gel and cure times.
• The curing process is moderately hot, resulting in low internal stresses during the curing process.
• Relatively short demolding time, i.e. good demolding factor.

Processing methods:

• Particularly suitable for hand lay-ups, spray lay-ups, centrifugal casting, fiber winding, resin casting and surface coatings (fillers, putties, adhesive layers and topcoats).

Spraying equipment:

• Use manufacturer's instructions for use of spray equipment.
• Ensure that all safety devices are functioning properly.
• Do not clean the muzzle by spraying methyl ethyl ketone peroxide into the air.

Security and Handling:

• The product should be stored in closed supply containers at temperatures below +30°C.
• Keep a well-ventilated area.
• Keep away from ignition sources and heat sources (e.g. direct sunlight).
• Isolation from other hazardous and incompatible substances.
• Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
• Use proper ventilation.
• If necessary, the product vapors of vacuuming are at the point where they are generated.
• Avoid aerosol formation.
• Do not inhale vapors/aerosols.
• Wear appropriate respiratory protection if necessary.
