FRP Accelerator Supplier | FRP Hardener Supplier

This is a cobalt-based promoter that assists the catalyst for starting the chemical reaction between styrene monomer and resin to form a cured solid. If someone wants to use a hand layup technique for FRP moulding, then the temperature should be somewhere between 250C, then 2 to 3% hardener as well 2 to 3% accelerator will be perfect for acquiring the best results. In the case of gel coats, the quantity of hardener should not be below 2%. This helps in apt curing since the gel coats are quite thin.

In case you are looking for an effective accelerator for polyester, cobalt octoate with 6% cobalt content is perfect. It helps in curing as well as polymerization of unsaturated polyester resins. MEKP or Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide is used as a catalyst. Cobalt is helpful in drier coatings and serves as a single drier too. Basically, it is an oxidation catalyst. It can be used as a perfect surface dryer. It often tends to wrinkle of the surface. So, to make sure that uniform drying takes place, cobalt is used along with other metals like calcium, zirconium, manganese, or a combination of a few metals. It helps in minimizing discoloration in paints as well as enamels because cobalt drier is used in minimum quantity.

Because of the special features of cobalt, it does not get affected by atmospheric humidity. But one needs to keep in mind that the solvent may evaporate if you leave it open.
