Inhibitors

In certain geographical regions we supply a number of inhibitors for the processing of unsaturated polyester resins, vinyl ester resins and (meth)acrylate resins.

Our inhibitors act as radical scavengers and are used to extend geltime and potlife of curing systems.

Inhibitor NLC-1 and Inhibitor NLC-10

Inhibitor NLC-1 and Inhibitor NLC-10 are used at ambient temperature to lengthen:

• the geltime of a mixture of UP resin, organic peroxide and accelerator
• the potlife of a mixture of UP resin and organic peroxide

• the potlife of a mixture of UP resin and amine accelerator.

Inhibitor NLC-1 ensures a more accurate dosing.

Inhibitor NLD-20

Inhibitor NLD-20 is used in elevated and high temperature cure systems for lengthening:

• the shelf life of a SMC and BMC at ambient temperature

• the potlife of a mixture of UP resin and peroxide at ambient temperature.

In comparison with, for example, p-benzoquinone Inhibitor NLD-20 is very effective at ambient temperature without showing an effect on the cure at elevated and high temperatures.

The world's largest range of thermoset chemicals 

Our range of organic peroxides for the curing of thermoset resins, coatings and specialty monomers is the world's largest. In addition, we offer a wide range of auxiliary products, such as accelerators and promoters, to meet your specific production requirements.

In certain regions we also supply a number of release agents.
