Vipel® K023-AAA-00

Vipel® Fire Retardant High Cross-Linked, Bisphenol A, Epoxy Vinyl Ester Resin

AOC's Vipel® K023 series is a fire retardant, high cross-linked bisphenol A epoxy vinyl ester resin dissolved in styrene. AOC's Vipel K023 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. AOC's Vipel® K023-AAA series resins are un-promoted and non-thixotropic resins.

Heat Resistance
Vipel® K023 has a high heat distortion temperature.

Fire Retardant
The Vipel® K023-AAA-00 requires no antimony trioxide spread to meet ASTM E 84 Class I flame spread requirements.

Mechanical Properties
Vipel® K023 is suitable for moldings that are subjected to particularly high static or dynamic loads. Vinyl ester resins have excellent resistance to sustained heat.

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

Corrosion Resistance
Vipel® K023 is highly resistant to a number of chemical environments. Refer to AOC's "Corrosion Resistant Resin Guide" for corrosion resistance information or for questions regarding suitability of a resin to any particular chemical environment contact AOC.
