Vinyl Ester - Chemical Resistance

Chemical resistance of Vinyl Ester to products as Acetone, Alcohol, Diesel
oil and more.
Sponsored Links

Vinyl Ester - or Vinylester - is a resin produced by the esterification of epoxy resin with
unsaturated monocarboxylic acid.

Vinyl esters have enhanced mechanical properties compared to polyesters with physical
strength better impact and thermal shock resistance.

Standard epoxy vinyl ester resins are limited to 220 - 250 oF (104 - 121 oC) in most applications.
High-density cross-linked products are suitable for temperatures above 250 oF (121 oC).

Vinyl ester resins offer in general excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, hypochlorites, and many
solvents.
