Trigonox® 178 VR is a convenient pre-blended initiator suitable for curing unsaturated polyester, vinyl ester and acrylic thermosetting resins at ambient conditions in conjunction with a metal salt. Trigonox® 178 VR produces lower exotherms than standard MEKP’s and is useful in warm and hot weather climates. Applications include cast polymer and laminates.Trigonox® 178 VR offers all the advantages of a red MEKP, except red parts. The vanishing red (VR) series of products includes a red indicator system that virtually disappears during cure. The red is there when you need it, but not in the finished product.
