Frequently Asked Questions.

1.What is a polyester catalyst?

A polyester catalyst is a substance that can accelerate the reaction of unsaturated polyester resins with organic peroxides, such as methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) or benzoyl peroxide (BPO). Unsaturated polyester resins are synthetic materials that can be used for various applications, such as moulding, casting, laminating, or coating. 

2. How do polyester catalysts work?

Polyester catalysts operate by enhancing the cross-linking reaction between polyester resins and reactive molecules like monomers or cross-linking agents. This reaction creates a three-dimensional network structure, resulting in a cured and hardened polyester material.

3. What are the different types of polyester catalysts?

Polyester catalysts come in a variety of types, such as organic peroxides, amine-based catalysts, cobalt-based catalysts, and metal salts. The type of catalyst used is determined by the specific application, resin formulation, and curing conditions.
