The aim of this section is to assist our customers in the cost-effective design of GRP products with resistance to a specific chemical or mixture of chemicals.
Information is presented on the recommended Crystic resins, ranging from orthophthalic polyster resins (which have good resistence to acidic conditons) to the improved resistence of isophthalic polyster resins. Also available are the more sophisticated and expensive bisphenol modified resins and vinyl ester resins which are designed for exceptional all-round chemical resistence. These resins are listed in Table I. Table II covers a wide range of chemicals and presents the maximum operating temperature in degree C for laminates made as recommended on Page 5, with these Crystic resins, under the chemicals.
Within each chemical group, the chemicals are listed in alphabetical order and where possible the Maximum Operating Temperature for fully post cured material is given.
