Quick Overview

MEKP (Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide)

Purpose: Acts as a catalyst to cure polyester and vinyl ester resins.
How It Works: When mixed with resin, MEKP initiates a chemical reaction that generates heat, causing the resin to solidify.
Measurement: Accurate measurement is crucial for proper curing. Use the MEKP Catalyst Dispenser for precise dispensing. Check out out MEKP chart on the next slide to ensure you are using the right amount.

Application Tips

Mixing Ratio: Follow the manufacturer’s recommended ratio of MEKP to resin. Too much or too little can affect the curing process.
Mix Thoroughly: Ensure that MEKP is evenly distributed in the resin for consistent curing.
Work Quickly: The reaction generates heat and speeds up curing, so work within the recommended time frame to avoid premature hardening.
Safety: MEKP is a strong chemical. Use it in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate protective gear, such as gloves and goggles.

Useful Downloads: For more detailed information, including safety guidelines and mixing instructions, refer to the manufacturer’s downloadable resources.

Manufactured by Syrgis Performance, MEKP ensures reliable curing results for your resin projects.

Details

MEKP Catalyst is an essential product for anyone working with unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins. Whether you are a professional contractor or a DIY enthusiast, this catalyst is a must-have in your toolbox.

One of the key benefits of MEKP Catalyst is its ability to initiate or catalyze the room temperature cure of resins. When mixed with the resin, a chemical reaction occurs, generating heat that ultimately cures and hardens the resin. This ensures a strong and durable finished product.

Another advantage of using MEKP Catalyst is its versatility. It can be used with a wide range of resins, including those containing Duratec. The recommended mix ratio for most resins is between 1.25% to 1.75%, which equates to approximately 1 2/3 ounces to 2 1/3 ounces per gallon. Resins with Duratec require a slightly higher mix ratio of 2%. This flexibility allows you to achieve the desired results with precision and ease.

Now let's take a look at some of the key features of MEKP Catalyst.

1. Feature: Clear, colorless solution. Our MEKP Catalyst comes in a clear, colorless solution to ensure the purity and quality of the product.

2. Feature: Mixture of dimethyl phthalate and an ester plasticizer. The inclusion of these ingredients enhances the effectiveness of the catalyst and ensures a reliable chemical reaction.

3. Feature: Easy to measure and pour. To ensure accurate measurement and pouring of the catalyst, we recommend the use of our MEKP Catalyst Dispenser. This accessory makes the mixing process hassle-free and mess-free.

4. Feature: Free Downloads. As a bonus, we offer a collection of useful downloads that provide additional information and guidance on working with MEKP Catalyst. These resources are valuable references for both beginners and experienced users alike.

In summary, MEKP Catalyst is the go-to catalyst for anyone working with unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins. From its versatile applications to its easy and accurate measurement, this catalyst offers everything you need to achieve outstanding results. Don't settle for anything less than the best – choose MEKP Catalyst from Syrgis Performance.
