[[Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide]] (MEKP) is a hardener or catalyst used for [[Polyester Resin]]. It is used in small quantities relative to the resin when mixing. ==Safety== [[File:MEKP Small Bottle.jpg|200px|thumb|right|]] MEKP is highly flammable. It is also corrosive. Do not allow it to come in contact with skin. It will cause a chemical burn. Goggles should be worn when mixing. The MEKP we sell is diluted, but still hazardous. Do not think that it is less dangerous. Wear protective goggles when mixing resin and hardener together. Wear long sleeve clothing, including face protection if there is any risk of the mekp splashing. Keep away from children. ===Splashing=== Any MEKP splashing on the skin should be immediately cleaned off and rinsed with water. You should be wearing full protective clothing, face mask, and goggles if there is any risk of inadvertent contact. Avoid using the MEKP in situations, where splashing may occur. ==Fire Hazard== {{Template:OrganicPeroxideLabel}} ==Mixing Table== {{MixingTable}} ==Tips/Tricks== You may want to consider using [[Catalyst_Measuring_Syringes]] when dispensing small amounts of MEKP, for both accuracy and safety. ==Images== <gallery> File:Catalyst 1.jpg|200px|thumb|| File:Catalyst 2.jpg|200px|thumb|| File:Catalyst 3.jpg|200px|thumb|| </gallery> ==See Also== [[Hand Lay Up Guide]] - Detailed instructions for Polyester Resin application.
