Research Excerpts

Overview

Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKPO) is a typical organic peroxide with thermally unstable nature. It has been broadly employed in the manufacturing process of acrylic resins, as a hardening agent for fiberglass-reinforced plastics, and as a curing agent for unsaturated polyester resins.
