Cobalt Octoate

In FRP grade , Cobalt Octoate is a combination of two metals. Combined %of two metals is active metal present in Cobalt Octoate . These Compounds are promoters used in curing Polyester resins with Methyl Ethyl Ketonr Peroxide(MEKP) type catalyst. Promoters are also called accelerators. These acelerators can be added to the resin by the supplier in prior only or by the manufacturer prior to adding catalyst to Resin. Accelerator added Resin is called is Pre – Acelerated Resin or Pre-Promoted Resin.

Description

The cobalt-based accelerator helps the catalyst to start a chemical reaction between the Resin and Styrene monomer to form a cured solid material. Accelerators must never be mixed directly with a catalyst since a violent explosive reaction results, hence it is very important to ensure all accelerators are thoroughly mixed with the resin before adding the catalyst.
we also provide clear castegrade(CC) of cobalt Octoate or colorless cobalt for FRP.

Application

  • These Cobalt Accelerators are mainly used for quick curing reaction of Polyester and vinyl ester Resin and allow them to dry at room temperature
  • It is used with Polyester Resin , Vinyl Eser Resin , Iso Resin , Gelcoats
