• Form: liquid.
• Color: Colorless and transparent.
• Specific gravity @ 25°C: 1.12.
• Viscosity @ 25°C: 18.0 cps.
• Flash Point (SETA C.C.): 170°F/77°C minimum.
• Soluble in: oxygenated organic solvents.
• Slightly soluble in: water.

Applications.

• Norox? MEC is suitable for cobalt-promoted gel and cure initiation of unsaturated polyester resins at low operating temperatures. It also exhibits excellent properties at ambient temperatures.
• It has the following advantages over the standard MEKP formula:
  1. Many resins have short gel-to-cure times.
  2. Excellent storage stability due to the absence of impurities (water, hydrogen peroxide, unreacted methyl ethyl ketone and other diluents).
  3. Exhibits better performance in gel coatings (the hydrophobicity of Norox? MEC provides better mixing and resin compatibility).
