AOC's Vipel K022 series is a brominated bisphenol A epoxy vinyl ester resin dissolved in styrene. Vipel K022 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. Vipel K022-CN series contains antimony products.

BENEFITS
Fire Retardant
Some Vipel K022 versions do not require antimony trioxide to meet ASTM E 84 Class I flame spread requirements.

Mechanical Properties
Vipel K022 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 K022 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.
