About 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.
