Vipel® Corrosion Guide

Product catalog summary

Introduction
AOC corrosion resistant resins are tailored for the fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite industry, focusing on environments where corrosion resistance is crucial. This guide aids fabricators in choosing suitable resins for components exposed to corrosive conditions, based on comprehensive laboratory and field testing.

Resin System Selection
Selection depends on chemical service, environment, user specifications, and fabricator recommendations. Users may choose resin systems based on experience or manufacturer advice. Fabricators should verify the source and suitability of equivalent systems. Essential information includes chemical names, concentrations, specific gravity, pH, temperature ranges, pressure conditions, and exposure duration.

Resin Selection
Resins are chosen from the Corrosion Resistance Resins Guide based on provided data. Temperature data indicates the highest acceptable service temperature, with short exposure to higher temperatures permissible if the heat distortion temperature is not exceeded. Resistance is determined according to ASTM C581 and ASME/ANSI RTP-1 standards.

Notes and Recommendations
Specific applications may require different veil materials, cure systems, or post-curing. Users should follow notes next to chemical listings for specific recommendations. For unlisted applications, contact AOC's Corrosion Product Leader.

Chemical Listings
The guide includes a comprehensive list of chemicals with recommended maximum continuous exposure temperatures. Notes indicate specific requirements such as synthetic veils, double veils, or specific curing systems for enhanced service life. Some resins are suitable for FDA/USDA applications.

Temperature Conversions
Fahrenheit to Centigrade conversions are provided for reference, with room temperature assumed to be 77°F.

Overview
This document provides detailed information on various chemical plating solutions and other chemical compounds, focusing on their concentrations and recommended maximum continuous exposure temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit. It includes specific notes on handling and recommended materials for improved service life.

Notes and Recommendations

Various veils and curing systems are recommended for improved service life, such as synthetic veils, carbon veils, and BPO/DMA or BPO/DEA curing systems.
Post-curing is recommended for certain chemicals to enhance service life.
Specific products like Vipel® F764 or Vipel® F774 are recommended over others for certain applications.
Some chemicals are suitable for FDA/USDA applications, including F010, F007, F015, F701, F764, F774, and F737.

Temperature Conversions
The document provides Fahrenheit to Centigrade conversions for various temperatures, with room temperature assumed to be 77°F.
