Elastomer Bisphenol A Epoxy Vinyl Ester Resins
Product Description
AOC Vipel? F017 Series is an elastomer-modified bisphenol A-based epoxy vinyl ester resin soluble in styrene. Vipel? F017-AAA is an unpromoted, non-thixotropic resin.
major application
Vipel? F017 series is designed as a primer for glass fiber reinforced composites bonded to steel, concrete and other substrates.
Performance Characteristics
Low VOC content
All versions contain less styrene than 40% by weight.
adhesive
Vipel? F017 series is designed as a primer for glass fiber reinforced composites bonded to steel, concrete and other substrates.
resilience
The Vipel? F017 series improves interlaminar adhesion and can be applied to composites that require more flexibility.
general purpose
Suitable for various composite material molding processes, such as hand-lay-up process, spraying process, winding process, etc.
