Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) is an Organic Peroxide , a high explosive similar to Acetone Peroxide , and is quite dangerous to synthesize. Unlike acetone peroxide, however, MEKP is a colorless, oily liquid at room temperature and pressure, while acetone peroxide is a white solid. It is slightly less sensitive to shock and temperature, and more stable in storage. Dilute Solution s of MEKP are used in industry and by hobbyists as the Catalyst which initiates the Polymerization of Polyester Resin s used in Glass-reinforced Plastic , and casting. Benzoyl Peroxide can be used for the same purpose. MEKP is a severe skin irritant and can cause progressive corrosive damage or blindness if contacted with the eyes. SEE ALSO
