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 />
6<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 />
