Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide (MEKP) — organic peroxide initiator / catalyst.
About this product
MEKP Hardener is Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide — an organic peroxide catalyst and initiator used to start curing in selected unsaturated polyester, vinyl ester and gelcoat systems. Samrat FRP Traders supplies and imports this product for the Nepal market. Current Samrat Poly Resins, India documentation identifies its product role as an organic peroxide initiator or catalyst.
In FRP procurement and shop-floor language it may be called a hardener, catalyst or initiator, because its role is to initiate curing in the selected resin system. It is not a structural resin, not a glass-fibre reinforcement and not a finished-surface gelcoat — each of those is a separate material role within an FRP system.
The supplier documentation lists its system context as unsaturated polyester, vinyl ester and gelcoat systems. It is not an epoxy curing agent and does not replace the separate Epoxy Hardener component used with compatible epoxy systems, so the two routes should not be mixed up.
For safety, handling and storage information, refer to the current supplier Safety Data Sheet. For current pricing, availability and packaging options in Nepal, contact Samrat FRP Traders through the enquiry page, and share the base resin grade, application and expected quantity.
What this means for buyers
Role
MEKP is a catalyst or initiator that starts curing in a selected polyester-family resin system. It is not the resin, the reinforcement or the gelcoat, so it is always selected together with a specific base resin rather than used on its own.
System context
The supplier documentation lists use with unsaturated polyester, vinyl ester and gelcoat systems only. MEKP is not an epoxy curing agent and does not replace the Epoxy Hardener component of a compatible epoxy system.
Handling and documents
As an organic peroxide, MEKP requires careful handling and storage — refer to the current supplier Safety Data Sheet. For current Nepal pricing, availability and packaging options, use the enquiry page.

Product details
Applications
Supplier documentation lists use in published polyester resin systems for FRP products and laminates, gelcoat systems for moulded FRP surface-finish work, vinyl ester resin systems, and composite manufacturing where the base resin is confirmed first.
Resin for Water Tank ManufacturingWater tank manufacturers need a resin that wets out glass reinforcement cleanly and cures into a strong, leak-resistant laminate for long-term structural integrity.
Resin for Cooling Tower ManufacturingCooling tower components face constant moisture and temperature cycling, demanding a laminate with lasting mechanical strength and chemical resistance.
Resin for Roofing Sheet ManufacturingRoofing and cladding sheet manufacturers need even lamination across large panel areas, without pooling or dry patches that weaken the sheet.
Resin for FRP Door ManufacturingFRP doors need a laminate that bonds well to the door-skin substrate and holds its shape and strength through years of daily use.
Resin for Door Skin ManufacturingDoor skin production calls for excellent wet-out and a clean, glass-like cured finish straight out of the mould.
Resin for FRP Panel ManufacturingGeneral FRP panels — from partitions to enclosures — need a resin that processes predictably at volume, batch after batch.Industries served
- FRP & composites manufacturing
- FRP roofing, panel and tank manufacturing
- FRP moulded-product and surface-finish manufacture
- Industrial composite and resin-system procurement

Frequently asked questions
What is MEKP Hardener?
It is Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide — an organic peroxide catalyst and initiator used to start curing in selected unsaturated polyester, vinyl ester and gelcoat systems. Samrat FRP Traders supplies and imports it for the Nepal market.
Which resin systems is it used with?
The supplier documentation lists unsaturated polyester, vinyl ester and gelcoat systems. The base resin grade should be confirmed first, since MEKP is selected to match a specific resin system.
Why is it called a hardener, catalyst or initiator?
These terms all describe MEKP's curing role within a selected polyester-family resin system. It is not the structural resin, the glass-fibre reinforcement or the mould-side gelcoat itself.
Is MEKP Hardener the same as Epoxy Hardener?
No. MEKP is a catalyst or initiator for polyester-family systems, while Epoxy Hardener is a separate polyamide curing agent for compatible epoxy systems. MEKP is not an epoxy curing agent and the two should not be interchanged.
What safety and handling information is available?
As an organic peroxide, MEKP requires careful handling and storage. Refer to the current supplier Safety Data Sheet, and confirm handling and storage details before use.
What documents and commercial details are available?
Supplier Technical Data Sheet and Safety Data Sheet documents are available. For current pricing, availability and packaging options in Nepal, contact Samrat FRP Traders through the enquiry page.
