Poly/Vinyl Esters
Poly/vinyl esters serve as versatile matrix materials in composite manufacturing, offering exceptional corrosion resistance, toughness, and adhesion to reinforcements. These resins, derived from the esterification of polyethylene or polypropylene glycol with unsaturated acids, provide a balance between cost-effectiveness and performance. Poly/vinyl ester composites find applications in industries requiring resistance to harsh environments, such as marine, automotive, and chemical processing.
