Vinyl ester topcoats for finishes on glass fibre laminates. Products cover applications with chemical exposure, which must be checked against the specific working conditions.
These topcoats are described for finishing glass-fibre laminates made with polyester or vinyl ester resins. The products highlight resistance to hydrocarbons and petrol; VE 590 is identified as an epoxy Novolac-based vinyl ester formulation. Select by the contacting chemical and actual service conditions, not simply grey colour or membership of the vinyl ester family.
These are finishing coats, not the resin forming the laminate or a gelcoat applied to a pattern for making a mould. Vinyl ester gelcoats serve that other stage. To compare finishes based on different resin types, consult composite topcoats. Confirm the hand-application method and exposure conditions for the product before selecting the system.
