Vinyl ester
Epoxy-derived chain ends react through polyester-like free-radical cure, combining practical processing with improved toughness and chemical resistance.
In simple terms
Epoxy-derived chain ends react through polyester-like free-radical cure, combining practical processing with improved toughness and chemical resistance.
Best for
Corrosion, water exposure, tanks, pipes, marine laminates and robust infusion.
Watch out for
Reactive-monomer emissions, cure inhibition, exotherm and post-cure requirements.
Typical applications
Chemical tanks, scrubbers, sewer rehabilitation, boats, wind blades and industrial flooring.
