CHP Catalyst

Pack Type: 5kg Bottle | 20kg Carton – 4 x 5 Kg Bottles

CHP is an initiator.  It is made for the polymerisation of  styrene, butadiene, acrylonitrile, vinylacetate, acrlylates and methacrylates.   It is also used with MEKP to increase working time for Polyester and Vinyl Ester resins.

Features:

  • Can be activated by organic-soluble or water-soluble reducing agents, or by metal compounds to achieved polymerization at room temperature or lower.
  • Styrene and methyl methacrylate can be polymerized in bulk in the temperature range of 60-100C
  • Can be blended with MEKP to tune gel-time or slow down reaction speed
