High Corrosion Resistant Epoxy Vinyl Ester Resin

Description: ġ
ETERSET 2960P-5 is a premium grade prepromoter epoxy-based vinyl ester
resin. It has good resistance to a wide range of acids, alkalis and salt solutions. It provides
good mechanical properties and high heat distortion temperature. ġ
ġ
Performance: ġ
Less air bubble release when mixing with MEKPO.ġġ
Less heat release when the resin cure.ġġ
Exhibits good chemical resistance.ġġ
Offers good wet-out. ġ
Comply with FDA regulation 21 CFR 177.2420.ġġ
DNV register approval for marine.ġġ
ġ
Suggested use:ġġ
Filament winding and hand lay-up for FRP tanks and pipes for corrosion
control application.
