Vinyl Ester Hardener

An extremely high strength resin used for making strong stiff laminates.

Vinyl ester hardener.

It is the same catalyst used with polyester resins. Big final parts can produced with this working process which is designed only for cold curing systems. Vinyl ester resins vinyl ester resin is considered to be a hybrid of polyester and epoxy resins meaning its handling characteristics properties and even price generally fall just between the two. This condensation product acts as a crosslinking agent and to improve adhesion to glass fibers.

A more automatic version is to spray a mixture of fiber resin hardener and accelerator onto the mould the resin hardener and accelerator are dosed separately and mixed within the spray gun with the fibers. It is typically used in boat hulls gas tanks kayaks canoes and other items that will be exposed to chemicals such as fuel or water for extended periods of time. Vinyl ester can be used as a final coat after polyester resin to create a better water barrier. The curing process is radical initiated.

Corrosion resistant and blended for toughness our 1110 vinyl ester resin is formulated for maximum corrosion resistance to most fuels vapors and both acidic and basic chemicals. It is meant for a room temperature cure. Call for specific applications. The hardener catalyst for vinyl ester resin is mekp methyl ethyl ketone peroxide.

The hardener catalyst for vinyl ester resin and polyester resins is mekp. It is a solution of methyl ethyl ketone peroxides and cumyl hydroperoxide in phlegmatizer. Vinyl ester resins are typically formulated from styrene and a condensation product of methacrylic acid with an epoxy. Vinyl ester is formulated for maximum corrosion resistance to most fuels vapors and chemicals.

Highly water and chemical resistant. Excellent secondary chemical bond to polyester laminate when making repairs or when strength and stiffness are important. It s heat resistant and blended for durability. Mekp is the catalyst hardener needed to cure polyester and vinyl ester resins.

Ph 1 hardener polymer alloy 1000 100 solids multi functional semi self leveling or seeded epoxy floor topping applied at 20 mils 0 5 mm.
