Product information
Cobalt ACD 6
Alpha ChemieCobalt-based accelerator for polyester and vinyl ester resin systems, intended to promote peroxide-initiated curing.
Get quotationAbout this product
Cobalt ACD 6 is listed as a cobalt accelerator grade for thermoset resin systems. It is intended to promote the cure of compatible unsaturated polyester or vinyl ester resins when used with the appropriate organic peroxide catalyst. Exact cobalt concentration and carrier chemistry should be confirmed from the current product TDS.
Applications
Unsaturated polyester resin; vinyl ester resin; FRP laminates; gelcoats; molded composite components
Key features
Cobalt-based accelerator; supports peroxide cure; suitable for FRP resin processing; helps control gelation and cure rate
Recommended use
Use only at the supplier-recommended concentration and with the specified peroxide system; validate gel time and through-cure before production.
Not recommended for
Not intended as a standalone curing agent; do not substitute for the peroxide catalyst; exact compatibility must be confirmed for non-polyester systems.
Handling and safety
Never mix cobalt accelerator directly with MEKP or other concentrated organic peroxide. Add components separately to the resin in the prescribed order. Use gloves, eye protection and ventilation and follow the current SDS.
