Vipel® F013-AAA-00

Vipel Corrosion Resistant Bisphenol A, Epoxy Vinyl Ester Resins

AOC's Vipel F013 series is a bisphenol A epoxy-based vinyl ester resin dissolved in styrene. The Vipel F013 series is ideally suited for use in hand lay-up, spray-up, filament winding and pultrusion processes where outstanding mechanical properties and excellent resistance to chemicals and heat are required.

Versatile
Wide formulating capabilities allow for use in many processes and for optimization of cost/performance.

Unique composition produces a tough and versatile resin with excellent crack and craze resistance in molded parts.

Vipel F013 is suitable for moldings that are subjected to particularly high static or dynamic loads, such as pipe, tanks, duct work and flooring applications. Vinyl ester resins have excellent resistance to sustained heat.

Corrosion Resistant
Vipel F013 highly resistant to hydrogen peroxide, and alkalis, and performs well in various stages of hypochlorite and chlorine production. Refer to AOC for corrosion resistance information or for
questions regarding suitability of a resin to any particular chemical environment.

Food and Drug
All resins in this datasheet are manufactured from raw materials that are listed in FDA regulation Title 21 CFR 177.2420. It is the fabricator's responsibility to also be sure that the final composite is well cured. All composites used for FDA applications should be post cured at 180°F/82°C for at least 4 hours. After post curing it should be washed with soap and water and rinsed.
