Vinyl Ester Fiberglass Resin

Vinyl ester resin.

Vinyl ester fiberglass resin. Vinyl ester is formulated for maximum corrosion resistance to most fuels vapors and chemicals. When higher strength bond and water resistance is required such as keel rudder repair or out board transom replacement use lbi s 302 isothalic polyester resin. Their longer double bonded vinyl groups that link the ester groups together contribute a flexible nature to the resin. Vinyl ester resin is also more resistant to solvents and water degradation.

Ve resin is a tougher resin because of its longer molecular chains. It s heat resistant and blended for durability. 22 abrasives 25 brushes rollers pans 19 boat parts and accessories 18 caulking 1 clothing 54 detailing 47 epoxy resin and glue 35 fiberglass 8 foam core material 16 gel coat 3 hardware 3 hardeners 23 mold fabrication 51 paint 8 polyester resins 25 putty fillers 22 safety 9. Vinyl ester resins are produced by the reaction esterification between an epoxy resin and an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid.

Essentially they comprise a base of polyester resin strengthened with epoxy molecules in the backbone of the molecular chain. It is typically used in gas tanks boat hulls and other items that will be exposed to chemicals or water for extended periods of time. Vinyl esters also use peroxides e g.
