Lab study compares two initiators for curing filled orthophthalic polyester composites
Source: Materials Science Forum, "Research the Сuring Processes of Multifunctional Composites Based on Orthophthal Polyester Oligomers", published 11 November 2026.
What the source says
Laboratory orthophthalic polyester oligomer composites with 10-20 wt% titanium dioxide-based whiskers and 40-50 wt% glass fibre were cured with two radical initiators. PROMOX P200TX gave a wider gelation window and a lower peak cure temperature than LUPEROX K1 S.
Allbase view
A lab comparison of two radical initiators in orthophthalic polyester with glass fibre and titanium dioxide whiskers. Useful for moulders chasing cooler, slower cures in thick laminates, but nothing to act on yet without production-scale trials.
