HAA PE-552LY ( Primid curing agent – less Yellowing than 552)

 

Description
PE-552LY also contain β-hydroxy alkylamide but further blend with degassing agent to increase its non yellowing properties alone with better flow when compare with PE-552, it will decrease the dosage of benzoin which is the major cause of yellowing when baked.
