BUTANOX M60

A specially designed catalyst used for the polymerization of unsaturated polyester resins.

Butanox M60 is in the medium curing agent range for the GPR (Glass Fiber Reinforced Resin) industry and including clear poly composite molding systems, creating color stability for the finished product.

M60 is a quality upgraded product from M50 with higher oxygen content.
