To show the influence on the curing temperature caused by different amounts of accelerator in vinyl ester resins.
The accelerator concentration has a great influence on the curing temperature. This allows production conditions to be optimized, for example, to adapt a resin to existing production equipment. A comparison of curing curves also allows the composition of incoming resin to be checked before processing.
