The Winter Catalyst Hardener is specially formulated for use when temperatures fall to around 5°C, ensuring reliable curing of polyester and vinylester resins in cold conditions. Unlike standard catalyst hardeners, this winter-grade MEKP provides a “snap cure”, giving fast and consistent results even in low temperatures.
With a recommended mixing ratio of 1 - 2%, this Winter Catalyst is ideal for fibreglass projects, laminating, mould making, casting and marine repairs carried out during colder months. Its cold-weather formulation helps prevent under-curing, allowing resin applications to maintain strength, durability, and a professional finish.
This catalyst is a clear, colourless liquid with a total active oxygen content of 8.8 - 9.0%, a density of 1.180 g/cm³ at 20°C, and a viscosity of 24 mPa.s at 20°C.
Technical Specifications:
A single MEKP initiator formulation cannot provide optimum results in all resin systems. Evaluation of each MEKP in each resin intended for use is absolutely essential before full-scale manufacturing is attempted.

I've been using FSL for a while now and the products have always been excellent and very well priced. What is particularly impressive is the speed of delivery and comms - always excellent. Usually items delivered within 2 days, often the next day. Very happy and no reason to look elsewhere. Thanks 5 Stars
