FGI SPV Vinyl Ester Resins

SPV series of Vinyl Ester Resins were developed by FGI to meet the demand for increased quality and performance from traditional fibreglass products and the demand for resins more suited to the exotic reinforcements used in todays high tech applications. SPV series vinyl ester resin is based on the Derakane family of Vinyl Ester Resins. Derakane resins having proven performance in the chemical industry from their development in the USA in the mid 1960s. The objective of the research work and development of the SPV series was firstly to allow the product to be used in common factory conditions while still achieving laboratory performance. Secondly, as we were developing the resins for the performance market, we examined the reinforcement/resin interface. The high strength of the reinforcement can only be optimised if the correct conditions exist at the reinforcement/resin interface. Increased laminate properties have been achieved by improvement in fibre wetting, increase wetting speed and reduction of air entrapments in the laminate. SPV Vinyl Ester Resins have significantly contributed to the improved production of Australian made boats, yachts, swimming pools, safety equipment and industrial process equipment which equals or exceeds the quality and performance of similar products made anywhere in the world. SPV has been a leader in preventing osmosis in swimming pools, marine craft, and solving high heat and highly corrosive applications. The emergence and acceptance of composites in structural and infrastructure applications is now broadening this scope to less traditional applications such as rail cars, bridge deckings, electrical cross-arms and marine pilings, to name just a few. The SPV series is also tailor made to suit specific climate and workshop conditions, project type etc. Consult FGI technical staff for the correct grade of SPV vinyl ester resin to suit your specific application. FGI technical staff have many years of engineering and application experience to help ensure your projects success. Case histories and specific technical data available on request.
