Andonox Mcp-99: Description

Andonox MCP-99 is a liquid polymerization initiator for room temperature curing of unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins. It has a low peak exotherm temperature, gel time similar to standard initiators, and provides an excellent final cure in thin and thick laminates. It can be used for applications requiring thick laminates or high resin loadings like vacuum bagging or filament winding. Proper storage, handling, and safety procedures are outlined to prevent ignition or decomposition.

ANDONOX MCP-99
DESCRIPTION

Andonox MCP-99 is a solution of Methyl ethyl ketone peroxides and cumyl hydroperoxide in
phlegmatizer. Andonox MCP-99 is a liquid polymerisation initiator for the room temperature
cure of unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins with the following advantages/properties.

• Very low peak exotherm temperature


• Gel time close to standard MEKP
• Excellent final cure – both in thin and thick laminates
• Low impurity levels (water, MEK, salts)
• Less shrinkage and stress problems

PRODUCT DATA

Active oxygen content 9.1 – 9.5 %


Form Liquid
Colour Pale yellow
Density at 20°C 1.08 - 1.11 g/cm3
Viscosity at 20 16-20 mPa.s
Flash Point Seta C.C. > 65°C
SADT 60°C
Soluble in Oxygenated organic solvents
Insoluble in Water

APPLICATION

Andonox MCP-99 has a flat and low exotherm curve which ends up in a good 24h cure. This
curing behaviour reduces stress, cracking and shrinkage problems in laminates & castings.
Less shrinkage also means less fibre print through of gel coated surfaces.
The gel time is similar or slightly slower compared to standard MEKP products.
Andonox MCP-99 can be used when you want to build up thick laminates in one step, or if
the laminate has big variations in thickness, or when you have high resin loadings. Typical
applications are vacuum bag moulding of big units, filament winding of pipes & tanks with
thicker laminates or polyester concrete systems with high resin-to-filler ratio.

PACKAGING
Standard packing sizes are 25 and 5 kg net weight

STORAGE

• Storage at 25°C or below is recommended. Storage below 20°C is recommended for


maximum shelf life.
• Store in original containers away from flammables and all sources of heat, sparks, or
flames; out of direct sunlight; and away from promoters, accelerators, oxidizing or
reducing agents and strong acids or bases.
• Leaking containers - Remove and isolate in safe area. Re-package or dispose (see later
section) immediately.
• Never store in refrigerators containing food and/or beverages.

HANDLING

• Inform all personnel of procedures for safe handling and review safety data sheet with
them.
• Remove from storage area only the amount needed for one shift.
• Wear safety glasses or goggles and chemical resistant gloves.
• Keep away from heat, flames, and sparks.
• Avoid breathing vapours.
• Dilution is not allowed. Never dilute with acetone.
• Never add peroxides directly to promoters or vice-versa, violent decomposition can occur.
• Prevent contamination such as contact with dust, over-spray, wood, and combustible
material. Avoid contact with materials other than polyethylene, polypropylene, Teflon,
Tygon, or similar materials, glass or glass-lined steel, and 304, 316, SS2343 stainless
steel or equivalent.

FIRST AID
2004-09 Page 3 of 3

• EYES - Flush immediately with large amounts of fresh water and continue washing for at
least 15 minutes. Medical attention is needed.
• SKIN - Wash with soap and water.
• INGESTION - Drink large amounts of milk or water and call a physician immediately for
gastric lavage. Do not induce vomiting.

SPILLS

• Clean up immediately by absorbing with inert material - vermiculite, perlite, sand.


• After absorbing, moderately wet immediately with water and place in a clean plastic bag
lined, plastic pail.
• Dispose of immediately in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. NOTE:
Spilled peroxides, if not immediately cleaned up, can become contaminated and ignite or
decompose in a hazardous, violent manner.

FIRE

• Peroxides ignite readily and burn vigorously with acceleration.


• Use water from a safe distance - preferably with a water-fog nozzle.
• For very small fires, an extinguisher with carbon dioxide, foam, or dry chemical may be
effective.
• In case of fire in or near a storage area, cool stored containers with water spray.
