June 2008

Developed brand-new vinyl esters:

EPOVIA OPTIMUM range (KRF 1001, KRF 1051 & KRF-2000)

Commonly structures use glass-lining, rubber coating, metallic material such as stainless steel and PTFE for
the corrosion resistance of equipment and plant projects. The EPOVIA corrosion resistant resins can offer
considerably higher resistance to attack, from various kinds of corrosive chemicals, than many other plastic
or metallic materials. They are being used widely in fabricating industrial equipment and structures such as
absorption towers, process vessels, storage tanks, pipes, hood, scrubbers, ducts and exhaust stacks. Its
use is increasing at an accelerating rate over a broad rand of industrial applications.

ADVANTAGE OF CORROSION RESISTANT FRP


Corrosion-resistant EPOVIA products are generally used as FRP reinforced material with glass fibres or
synthetic fibres for special purposes. In most applications, higher corrosion resistance can be obtained
when the surface exposed to the chemical solutions has 80 to 90% resin content.

Corrosion
resistance

EPOVIA is equipped with outstanding resistance


to corrosion attack from many different chemicals.

Light weight

Corrosion resistant FRP is about one fifth the weight of steel.


EPOVIA based structure can be designed to offer higher
strength than steel on an equal weight basis. This property
is called structural efficiency or strength to weight ratio. By
the selection of the reinforcing materials, a wide range of
strength properties is available in FRP structures.

Heat resistance

Thermosetting resins have higher degree of resistance to


thermal aging than thermoplastic resin such as PVC and PE.
And thermosetting resins are much stronger at low temperature
environment as well.

Thermal
conductivity

Thermal conductivity values for the corrosion resistant FRP is


in the order of magnitude of 200 times lower than that of carbon
steel and therefore it results in superior insulation.

Chemical
stability

FRP structures have high resistance to chemical attack,


resulting in long term structural integrity during its service.

Clear casting
properties

The clear nature of EPOVIA resins allows for improved internal inspection.

Lamination

GENERAL DESCRIPTION & ADVANTAGES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

EPOVIA resins can be applied in many types of ways, for example via
hand lay-up, spray-up, RTM, filament winding, pultrusion, etc
A corrosion barrier is also suggested for the exterior layer where spillage
of aggressive chemicals may occur.

EPOVIA OPTIMUM

EPOVIA vinyl ester resins


EPOVIA vinyl esters possess outstanding corrosion resistance against many kinds of chemicals
including both acids and alkalis, at room and elevated temperature. It has high impact resistance
and offers significant cost-saving advantages through construction, installation, and continuing use
such as absorption towers, process vessels, storage tanks, pipes, hood scrubbers, ducts, and
exhaust stacks.

EPOVIA OPTIMUM
EPOVIA OPTIMUM has been developed as an innovative product to meet market needs for the
highest performance. When compared to traditional vinyl esters it offers a high level of cure control
and low reaction foam. This results in a far lighter colour in liquid state, castings and laminates as
well as the ability to produce a high quality air free laminate. All of this is achieved whilst maintaining
the balance of mechanical properties and the high level of corrosion resistance associated with
EPOVIA, which has 30 years of successful case histories. These enhanced properties of EPOVIA
OPTIMUM reflects the market requirements for innovative technology whilst balanced with traditional
Vinyl ester properties.

Main benefits of EPOVIA OPTIMUM

Lighter colour than conventional vinyl ester


Easy-to-fabricate (easy control for gel time and exothermic temperature)
Enhanced storage stability
Customer-friendly for thin or thick laminates
Less foaming
Same corrosion resistance as the same grade of EPOVIA

O U T E R L AY E R O R S U B S T R AT E
STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PROCESS
Corrosion
resistant barrier

The layer is mainly comprised of minimum 0.25-0.50 mm thickness


of resin by using C-glass surface mat or synthetic veil.

Support
Barrier

Minimum 3-5mm of layer has to be reinforced with chopped


strand mat or gun roving, i.e. discontinuous strands.

Structural
laminates

The reinforced layer must meet tensile and flexural strength suitable
for anti-corrosion structure. When applying layers of mat, woven roving
and yarn cloth, each layer has to be overlapped by at least 25 mm when
laminated. When woven roving or yarn cloth is applied, chopped strand
mat has to be used within alternate layers of roving or yarn cloth.

Thickness
of laminates

A minimum corrosion barrier and support barrier is required in all


structures, typically 3.2 mm for ducts and 4.8 mm for pipes or tanks.

Appearance

Final laminated products should not have defects such as


insufficient impregnation of mat, air bubbles and pinholes, also
be free from contamination of foreign particles or substances.

Dosage
of Promoter/
Hardener

Vinyl ester will not completely cure if the dosage of promoter & hardener
is too low or if it is not dispersed adequately. When vinyl ester is not cured
well, post-cure will not be effective. The key to obtaining good resistance
to the chemicals is to have a well-cured laminate. Please refer to the
standard cure conditions mentioned in the individual product data sheet.

Post-cure

Post-cure should be carried out to reach the optimum corrosion


resistance of laminates. Recommendation: 1 hour per mm thickness
(between 4 and 10 hours) at 80C

Wax solution

To cure the air-contacting surface of laminates, paraffin wax solution


should be used. Recommendation: 3 parts of 5% paraffin wax solution
per 100 parts of resin in the final ply.

1)

Products are best to used within 3 months of the manufacturing date. Avoid long-term storage of hardener and promoter.
Pre-accelerated resin and thixotropic or pigmented resin must especially be treated with special care due to the possibilities
of changes in chemical characters. (Products that have expired should be used only after contacting with Cray Valley sales
team or the R&D centre.)

2)

In the case of using unpromoted resin, mix promoter in advance and apply hardener agent just prior to work.

3)

Treat all chemical substances carefully to prevent the danger of fire. Special care should be taken with hardeners such as
peroxides; these products can be especially dangerous when they are combined or dissolved with promoter, so they should
be kept apart and stored separately.

4)

Products must be used with working environment temperature of 15-35C

5)

Cray Valley EPOVIA is a specially formulated product using an optimized level of styrene when manufactured.
Any post added styrene monomer should not exceed 5%. Please note that before adding additional Styrene
monomer in EPOVIA, contact the Cray Valley sales team or the R&D centre for guidance.

6)

The amount of the hardener used should follow the requirements of individual product datasheet.
When the hardener is used under 0.7% of resin, then under curing is very likely to occur.

7)

During the curing process, exothermic heat will occur and has the potential to lead to fire.
Therefore, all the working area should be managed in a proper way.

8)

Products should be used only for industrial purposes. In the case of changing the application
or end usage of the product, please contact Cray Valley sales team or the R&D centre.

9)

If problems are experienced when using the resin or the products, stop using it immediately
and please contact Cray Valley sales team or the R&D centre.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

CHEMICAL FEATURES

STORAGE GUIDANCE
1)

Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources and store products at the temperature of 25C or less

2)

Products must be kept covered with lid to prevent deterioration from evaporating styrene or contamination.

3)

Since the product is a flammable liquid, the product should only be used or stored in an area free
from heat or ignition sources. Ensure adequate and appropriate fire prevention systems are in place.

4)

If fire occurs, use dry chemical powder, CO2, water spray or foam.

5)

The hardener, promoter and the EPOVIA should be stored separately due to the potential danger of fire.

6)

When disposing of resin please follow the appropriate administrative regulations on waste materials.

CAUTION
1)

Please refer to product MSDS for full safety requirements

2)

Products are for industrial use only

3)

Keep all products out of reach of children.

4)

The working place must be open and well ventilated. Operators must wear masks and gloves for their safety.

5)

Prevent contact with eyes and wash hands immediately after using resin, hardener or promoter.
If contact occurs wash the eyes with water or boron dissolved water first, then consult a doctor immediately.

6)

When resin comes in contact with skin or clothing please wash off immediately.
