DESCRIPTION
AOC’s Vipel F764 Series are high cross-
linked isophthalic polyester resins.
APPLICATION
AOC’s Vipel F764 Series resins were
developed to meet the demanding re-
quirements of underground petroleum
storage tanks that contain oxygenated
fuels.
BENEFITS
UL Recognition
AOC’s Vipel F764 Series resins are rec-
ognized by UL for meeting the require-
ments of UL 1316 and UL 1746 Part II
and Part III.
Corrosion Resistance
Vipel F764 Series resins provide excel-
lent corrosion resistance when used in
contact with inorganic and organic acids.
Solvent resistance is field-proven for
many fuels including gasoline, kerosene,
heating oil and crude oils. Refer to AOC’s
“Corrosion Resistant Resin Guide” for
corrosion resistance information or for
questions regarding suitability of a resin
to any particular chemical environment
contact AOC.
Versatile
Suitable for various fabricating methods
such as hand lay-up, spray-up, filament
winding, etc.

PERFORMANCE GUID ELINES
A. Keep full strength catalyst levels
between 1.0% – 2.0% of the total resin
weight.
B. Maintain shop temperatures be-
tween 65 F/18 C and 90 F/32 C
and humidity between 40% and 90%.
Consistent shop conditions contribute
to consistent gel times and will help
the fabricator make a high quality part.
C. Sanding and/or grinding is recom-
mended if a secondary bond is applied
to a laminate that was made with a
resin containing wax.
STORAGE STABILITY
This product is stable for three
months from the date of manufacture
when stored in the original containers,
away from direct sunlight or other UV
light sources and at or below 25 C
(77 F). Storage stability of two
months or less should be anticipated if
the storage temperature exceeds
30 C (86 F).
After extended storage, some drift may
occur in the product viscosity and gel
time.
SAFETY
See the appropriate Safety Data Sheet
for guidelines.
ISO 9001:2008 CERTIFIED
The Quality Management Systems at
every AOC manufacturing facility have
been certified as meeting ISO
9001:2008 standards. This certifica-
tion recognizes that each AOC facility
has an internationally accepted model
in place for managing and assuring
quality. We follow the practices set
forth in this model to add value to the
resins we make for our customers.
FOOTNOTES
(1.) Based on tests of the base resin with 40% styrene
at 77 F/25 C and 50% relative humidity. All tests
performed on unreinforced cured resin castings. Thixo-
tropic components, if applicable, are excluded from
casting samples. Castings were prepared using 1%
BPO and post cured 1 hour at 93 C, 1 hour at 116 C,
and 2 hours at 138 C..
(2) The gel times shown are typical but may be affected
by catalyst, promoter, inhibitor concentration, resin,
mold, and shop temperature. Variations in gelling char-
acteristics can be expected between different lots of
catalysts and at extremely high humidities. Pigment
and/or filler can retard or accelerate gelation. It is rec-
ommended that the fabricator check the gelling charac-
teristics of a small quantity of resin under actual operat-
ing conditions prior to use.
