Service medium
Specify the substance or mixture, concentration, temperature and whether contact will be continuous or occasional.
Industry and construction / Equipment · pipework · linings
Tanks, pipes and chemical protection
To manufacture a tank, pipe or chemical-protection lining, first identify the fluid, its concentration and service temperature. Together with the process and cure, these factors guide the choice between polyester and vinyl ester options.

Before you buy
Three points to guide your choice
Structure and barrier
Define the reinforcement and the barrier in contact with the fluid. For a lining, also check the substrate and its preparation.
Curing and verification
Check the manufacturer's chemical-resistance table and curing cycle before putting equipment into service. Validate the complete solution where the project requires testing.
What to buy for this project
Selected materials
Compare their purpose and conditions of use.
Check sizes and options on each product page.
Polyester · tanks, pipes and chimneys
Crystic 198 High Thermal and Chemical Resistance Polyester Resin
Crystic 198 for composite tanks, pipes and chimneys exposed to heat and chemical environments.
Before choosing
Define the agent, its concentration and operating temperature before choosing the laminate. In cold-cured systems, post-curing is necessary to develop the intended chemical and thermal resistance.
Vinyl ester · chemical-process equipment
ACT High Chemical Resistance Vinyl Ester Resin
Vinyl ester ACT for laminating equipment requiring chemical resistance, especially to certain aqueous media and hot water.
Before choosing
Check compatibility with the fluid and actual service conditions. The cure and laminate structure must deliver the performance required of the equipment.
Novolac vinyl ester · equipment and linings
X590AC High Chemical Resistance Vinyl Ester Resin
X590AC for tanks, reactors, pipes and chimneys, or for formulating coatings on steel and concrete.
Before choosing
Select the resin using the resistance table for the agent, concentration and temperature. Coatings need a defined preparation, reinforcement and curing system; for fuels, also confirm current tank requirements.
Vinyl ester · chemically resistant laminates
Crystic VE 677 PA High Chemical Resistance Vinyl Ester Resin
Crystic VE 677 PA for fibre-reinforced laminates requiring resistance to chemicals, made by contact moulding, spray-up or winding.
Before choosing
Check the specific chemical medium and test the laminate before production. Post-curing and service temperature are part of the selection.
