Vinyl Ester Resin

Vinyl ester resin for work that has to resist chemical attack, water absorption or elevated temperature. It offers better corrosion resistance and toughness than standard polyester, which is why vinylester resin is specified where a general purpose laminate would not last.

Where it is used

Chemical storage tanks, bunds and pipework, ducting, marine hulls and osmosis barrier coats, and process plant linings. Also used as a skin coat behind gelcoat to improve blister resistance on marine mouldings.

Pack sizes

Available in 25kg, 225kg and 1100kg.

Other grades

For general work where chemical resistance is not required, see general purpose polyester resin. For closed mould processes, see RTM and infusion resins. For certified marine work, see Lloyd’s approved resin.
