Initiators
Ideal cross-linking
Processing of reactive resins begins with the addition of initiators. Curing agents, accelerators and inhibitors like peroxides must be exactly matched with one another to achieve the desired effect of optimal polymerisation and curing.
Our peroxides meet the highest possible quality and safety standards. Combined with the right accelerators and inhibitors, the processor can adapt the curing reaction very specifically to their own processing conditions and to their requirements of the end product.
Accelerators, also referred to as catalysts, are used to speed up the polymerisation reaction in the production of composite materials.
They are usually used in combination with organic peroxides to control the speed of the polymerisation reaction.
Accelerators are used in the production of composite materials to reduce the curing time of the resin, which can improve the efficiency and productivity of the manufacturing process. They are also used to improve the properties of the finished composite material, e.g. its rigidity, strength and residual monomer content.
Peroxides are frequently used in the composite material industry as initiators or radical starters for the polymerisation of reactive resins. They are usually used in combination with other initiators, so-called accelerators, which help to control the speed of the cross-linking reaction. Reinforcement of core material and cross-linked resin create a composite material which is used in a multitude of applications, e.g. in car making and in the construction industry.
Peroxides control the quality of the radical copolymerisation and therefore the bond between the fibre and the matrix material. This can help to improve the overall strength and durability of the composite material.
Peroxide mixtures are combinations of two or more peroxides that are used as initiators in the production of composite materials. They are usually used in combination with accelerators, i.e. with initiators that help to control the speed of the polymerisation reaction. They are used in the manufacture of fibre-reinforced composite materials, where they improve the adhesion between the fibre and the matrix material.
Peroxide mixtures play an important part in the composite material industry, as they are used to initiate the polymerisation of reactive resins and to improve properties such as the strength and durability of composite materials.
Promoters are used to strengthen the activity of catalysts or initiators during curing of composite materials. They are often used in combination with catalysts or initiators to improve the efficiency of the polymerisation reaction or change the properties of the finished composite material.
They are used to improve the curing speed of resins, which shortens process times and can improve the efficiency of the manufacturing process. They can also be used to improve the mechanical properties of the finished composite material, e.g. its strength and ductility.
Accelerator complexes are special accelerators mixed with other active ingredients to improve the efficiency of the polymerisation reaction or change the properties of the finished composite material.
Accelerator complexes can improve the curing speed of resins, which can contribute to shortening the curing time and making production more efficient. They can also be used to improve the mechanical properties of the finished composite material, e.g. its strength and ductility.
