Frequently Asked Questions. 

1.What is a polyester accelerator? 

Polyester accelerator is a chemical compound that can speed up the curing or hardening of unsaturated polyester resins. Unsaturated polyester resins are synthetic materials that can be used for various applications, such as moulding, casting, laminating, or coating. Polyester accelerator works by increasing the rate of formation of free radicals, which are the active agents that initiate the polymerization or cross-linking reaction of the resin.

2. How do I use a polyester accelerator? 

The method of using a polyester accelerator depends on the type and brand of the product and the resin you want to cure. However, in most cases you need to measure the correct amount of polyester accelerator required, based on the recommended ratio (usually 0.05% to 1.5% by weight of the resin), add it to the resin and mix well, add the catalyst or initiator and mix well, apply the resin to the desired surface or mould, and let it cure at room temperature or under heat.

3. What are the advantages of using a polyester accelerator? 

Polyester accelerator has several advantages over other methods of curing unsaturated polyester resins, such as: 

• It can reduce the curing time and increase productivity. 

• It can improve the mechanical properties and chemical resistance of the cured resin. 

• It can allow for a wider range of working temperatures and conditions.
