Performance

The Arkema red methyl ethyl ketone peroxides (MEKPs) upon which you have relied for consistent and predictable performance are now disappearing. Not from the market, but from your final product. Arkema’s new “DR” products feature a red color that disappears during use. As the following graphs show, the same red color provided by our current red products is introduced during mixing and spray-up of the catalyzed resin.

During cure, the DR products provide the same overall performance, but the red disappears. As shown below, the performance of the DR material is the same, regardless of the age of the product. The graphs show how the red disappears when either unaged or aged catalyst is used.
