Epoxy novolac vinyl esters offer unique performance in aggressive applications where conventional vinyl esters have restricted serviceability. These products have high reactivity, chemical resistance across a wide range of applications, and are compatible with most veils and reinforcement systems.
Brominated vinyl esters are fireretardant, corrosion resistant thermoset resins. These products are designed for FRP laminates that must meet stringent flame spread requirements, while still delivering strong mechanical and chemical performance.
