EPOXY VINYL ESTER RESIN<br />

COMPOSITES<br />

Bisphenol A based epoxy vinyl ester resins are<br />

methacrylated epoxy difunctional polyesters. Novolac<br />

modified epoxy vinyl ester resins have higher functionality.<br />

Vinyl esters are classified separately from polyesters<br />

due to their enhanced mechanical properties.<br />

They offer excellent physical strength and, in general,<br />

much better impact and thermal shock resistance than<br />

polyester resins. While the standard epoxy vinyl ester<br />

resins are limited to 105-120˚C in most applications,<br />

other versions with higher-density crosslinking are<br />

suitable for temperatures above 120˚C.<br />

These resins exhibit excellent resistance to acids,<br />

alkalis, hypochlorites, and many solvents. They are also<br />

suitable for flakeglass and fiberglass reinforced linings,<br />

coatings, and monolithic topping for tanks, vats, floors,<br />

troughs, and similar applications.<br />

HIGH PERFORMANCE EPOXY VINYL<br />

ESTER RESIN COMPOSITES<br />

Manufactured under a patented process, these resins<br />

offer maximum corrosion and temperature resistance to<br />

acids, alkalis, hypochlorites, and many solvents. These<br />

products have been formulated for maximum performance<br />

with methyl ethyl ketone peroxides. It is well documented<br />

that these catalysts provide optimal cure and<br />

thus maximum corrosion resistance.<br />

• HETRON 942/35: A bisphenol A epoxy vinyl ester<br />

resin with improved thermal properties, formulated<br />

with less than 35% styrene. Provides superior<br />

corrosion resistance to hydrocarbon solvents.<br />

• HETRON 980/35: A phenolic novolac epoxy vinyl<br />

ester resin formulated with less than 35% styrene.<br />

Provides maximum heat and corrosion resistance to<br />

strong oxidizing chemicals.<br />

• HETRON FR998/35: Highly flame retardant epoxy<br />

vinyl ester resin formulated with less than 35%<br />

styrene. Excellent thermal properties and superior<br />

corrosion resistance to hydrocarbon solvents and<br />

oxidizing media. See Table 7 for ASTM E84 flame<br />

spread values for this and other flame retardant<br />

resins.<br />

• HETRON 970/35: Highly crosslinked novolac<br />

epoxy vinyl ester resin with superior solvent and<br />

acid resistance.<br />

These resins offer excellent corrosion resistance to<br />

acids, alkalis, and some solvents.<br />

• HETRON 922: Provides excellent corrosion<br />

resistance up to 105˚C.<br />

• HETRON FR992: A flame retardant resin suitable<br />

for use to 105˚C. HETRON FR992 is an excellent<br />

choice for applications requiring both chemical and<br />

flame resistance. See Table 7 for ASTM E84 flame<br />

spread values.<br />

• HETRON 980: A novolac modified epoxy vinyl ester<br />

resin with excellent corrosion resistance to about<br />

120˚C. Can be used when organic chemicals such<br />

as benzyl chloride, chlorobenzene, phenol, and<br />

divinyl benzene are present.<br />
