Boat builders, chandlers, canoe places, car body places etc all likely to supply composite materials and hence a usable MEKP.

There is nothing special about the MEKP we supply, you can ask at your local supplier for ‘Standard reactivity MEKP’; brands such as Andanox KP9, Akperox A30, Butanox M50 (Akzo Nobel) are all suitable and very widely available.

Hi,

I have the same situation here. I want to buy and ship to Spain or Switzerland and cannot get MEKP from easycomposites.

I have been looking for alternative MEKP, and I have found Butanox M20.

What is the difference between M20 and M50? Is the % ratio to be mixed the same? (I have read somwhere that the difference is the concentration of MEKP...)

Thanks!

I believe it is different reactivity levels but you are best checking with the manufacturer to be sure.

It is not a brand we are specifically familiar with so check with the manufacturer.  Our MEKP is a standard grade standard activity MEKP, so you should be asking for those properties from your supplier.

Our Uni-Mould Tooling Gelcoat and Coupling coat are actually Vinylester resins.  Only the Tooling resin itself is polyester based.  However, in catalyst terms, all 3 resins use the same standard reactivity MEKP so if you find a local source of MEKP that works for one, then it should work fine with all our Polyester and vinylester based products.
