About Vinyl-ester Resin & Its Properties
Vinyl-ester resin has a long molecular chain that makes the resin tough and resilient, which means it can absorb loading shocks easier. It is resistant to water and chemical reactions due to the ester groups, which are susceptible to water degradation by hydrolysis. In its use in lamination, vinyl-ester resin requires additives to increase its curing process, thus providing resistance against corrosion. Here are some of the notable properties of this resin:
- Heat-resistant.
- Can withstand impact and bending forces, which means it can tolerate stretching.
- It is less sensitive to ambient temperature and humidity.
- Crack-resistant.
- Has a low viscosity index.
Vinyl ester resin can be hardened by the use of peroxides and thinned by chemical reactions. The double bonds make the resin obtain a flexible nature.
