Catalyst & Accelerators

The key for selecting the optimal initiator lies in understanding the key elements of the curing process during application. Organic peroxides are applied in all composite market and many others industries. Euroresins International Group offers you a wide range of initiators from MEKP standard peroxides to the elevated cured with a high and consistent quality. For safety reasons, never mix the peroxides and accelerators at the same time into the resin. Prevent the cause of fire or explosions by only stirring them one after another into the resin. Check our guidelines for working with peroxides.
