High Corrosion Resistant products

Epovia Optimum

Epovia Optimum is used for polymer concrete, pipes and tanks in high corrosive environment
(chemical industry) thanks to its long term stability in presence of chemically aggressive agent.
Vinyl Ester resin is easy to process in fact, the control of gel time with temperature is facilitated and
results in high flexibility in laminate thickness.
Post-curing is mandatory to achieve high quality part (4 hours minimum at 120C).
