1. lntroduction
REPOXY R-802 ard R-806 are
vinyl
ester resins that offer unique performanc€ anda wide range of versatility.
They
havJouttanding corosion
rcsistanceto
a varietyof
acids and especially to alkalies.They also have outstanding mechanical properties such as resiliency and elongation,
whi;h
can't be obtained with other typesofresin,
especially suitable for large-sized {llament winding prooess.Low viscosity and rapid curing make RIPOXY R-802 and R-806 suitable to general hand lay-up molding and other applications.
