PERFORMANCE GUID ELINES
A. Keep full strength catalyst levels be-
tween 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%. Con-
sistent shop conditions contribute to
consistent gel times and will help the
fabricator make a high quality part.
C. Finished part surfaces that have
been cured at room temperature in
contact with air should be relatively
tack free. They may not, however, be
fully cured and are thus not as re-
sistant to chemicals as a fully cured
part. If no further laminating is planned,
a 10% solution of 5% paraffin wax solu-
tion (MP 115-118 F/46-48 C) in sty-
rene may be added to the last resin
layer to provide a tack free surface.
D. Optimum cure and performance may
be obtained by post curing room tem-
perature cured laminates for two hours
at 158-212 F/70-100 C.
E. Room temperature curing by means
of cobalt acceleration should be com-
pleted with low hydrogen peroxide con-
tent MEKP catalyst to minimize foam-
ing.
STORAGE STABILITY
This product is stable for seven 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 77 F/25 C.
After extended storage, some drift may
occur in the product viscosity and gel
time.
SAFETY
See the appropriate Material 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 certification
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 mod-
el to add value to the resins we make for
our customers.
FOOTNOTES
(1.) Based on tests of F013-AAA-00 at 77 F/25 C.
and 50% relative humidity. All thixotropic resins should
be mixed well prior to use. All tests on unreinforced
cured resin. 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 affect-
ed 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.

PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES
A. Keep full strength catalyst levels
between 1.0% – 2.0% of th
B. e 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. Finished part surfaces that have
been cured at room temperature in
contact with air should be relatively
tack free. They may not, however, be
fully cured and are thus not as re-
sistant to chemicals as a fully cured
part. If no further laminating is
planned, a 10% solution of 5% paraffin
wax solution (MP 115-118 F/46-
48 C) in styrene may be added to
the last resin layer to provide a tack
free surface.
D. Optimum cure and performance
may be obtained by post curing room
temperature cured laminates for two
hours at 158-212 F/70-100 C.
E. Room temperature curing by
means of cobalt acceleration should
be completed with low hydrogen
peroxide content MEKP catalyst to
minimize foaming.
STORAGE STABILITY
Vipel F010-CNP-25, F010-LKB-35,
F010-TBN-28 and F010-TBP-25 are
stable for 3 months from the date of
manufacture when stored in the origi-
nal containers, away from direct sun-
light or other UV light sources and at or
below 77 F (25 C). All other Vipel
F010 products are stable for 6 months
from the date of manufacture when
stored in original containers, away from
direct sunlight or other UV light sources
an at or below 77 F (25 C).
Storage stability of two months or less
should be anticipated if the storage
temperature exceeds 86 F (30 C).
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

PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES
A. Keep full strength catalyst levels
between 1.0% – 2.0% of th
B. e 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. Finished part surfaces that have
been cured at room temperature in
contact with air should be relatively
tack free. They may not, however, be
fully cured and are thus not as re-
sistant to chemicals as a fully cured
part. If no further laminating is
planned, a 10% solution of 5% paraffin
wax solution (MP 115-118 F/46-
48 C) in styrene may be added to
the last resin layer to provide a tack
free surface.
D. Optimum cure and performance
may be obtained by post curing room
temperature cured laminates for two
hours at 158-212 F/70-100 C.
E. Room temperature curing by
means of cobalt acceleration should
be completed with low hydrogen
peroxide content MEKP catalyst to
minimize foaming.
STORAGE STABILITY
Vipel F010-CNP-25, F010-LKB-35,
F010-TBN-28 and F010-TBP-25 are
stable for 3 months from the date of
manufacture when stored in the origi-
nal containers, away from direct sun-
light or other UV light sources and at or
below 77 F (25 C). All other Vipel
F010 products are stable for 6 months
from the date of manufacture when
stored in original containers, away from
direct sunlight or other UV light sources
an at or below 77 F (25 C).
Storage stability of two months or less
should be anticipated if the storage
temperature exceeds 86 F (30 C).
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 Vipel F010-CNT-00 at 77
F/25 C and 50% relative humidity. All thixo-
tropic resins should be mixed well prior to use.
The use of thixotropy degrades the corrosion
performance of a resin in some chemical
environments such as sodium chloride. All tests
on unreinforced cured resin
.. Castings were pre-
pared using 1% BPO and post cured 1 hour at.
93 C, 1 hour at 116 C, and 2 hours at 138 C.

epoxy-based vinyl ester resin dis-
solved in styrene.
APPLICATION
The Vipel F010 series is ideally
suited for use in hand lay-up,
spray-up, filament winding, SMC,
and pultrusion processes where
outstanding mechanical properties
and excellent resistance to chemicals
and heat are required.
BENEFITS
Versatile
Wide formulating capabilities allow
for use in many processes and for
optimization of cost/performance.
Corrosion Resistance
Vipel F010 is highly resistant to
hydrogen peroxide, and alkalis, and
performs well in various stages of
hypochlorite and chlorine production.

Resin Guide for corrosion resistance
information or for questions regarding
suitability of a resin to any particular
chemical environment contact AOC.
Food and Drug
All resins in this datasheet are manu-
factured from raw materials that are
listed in FDA regulation Title 21 CFR
177.2420. It is the fabricator s
responsibility to ensure that the final
composite is well cured. All compo-
sites used for FDA applications
should be cured at 180 F /82 C for
at least 4 hours. After post curing it
should be washed with soap and wa-
ter and rinsed.

PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES
A. Keep full strength catalyst levels
between 1.0% – 2.0% of th
B. e 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. Finished part surfaces that have
been cured at room temperature in
contact with air should be relatively
tack free. They may not, however, be
fully cured and are thus not as re-
sistant to chemicals as a fully cured
part. If no further laminating is
planned, a 10% solution of 5% paraffin
wax solution (MP 115-118 F/46-
48 C) in styrene may be added to
the last resin layer to provide a tack
free surface.
D. Optimum cure and performance
may be obtained by post curing room
temperature cured laminates for two
hours at 158-212 F/70-100 C.
E. Room temperature curing by
means of cobalt acceleration should
be completed with low hydrogen
peroxide content MEKP catalyst to
minimize foaming.
STORAGE STABILITY
Vipel F010-CNP-25, F010-LKB-35,
F010-TBN-28 and F010-TBP-25 are
stable for 3 months from the date of
manufacture when stored in the origi-
nal containers, away from direct sun-
light or other UV light sources and at or
below 77 F (25 C). All other Vipel
F010 products are stable for 6 months
from the date of manufacture when
stored in original containers, away from
direct sunlight or other UV light sources
an at or below 77 F (25 C).
Storage stability of two months or less
should be anticipated if the storage
temperature exceeds 86 F (30 C).
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

FOOTNOTES
1.) Based on tests of Vipel F010-CNT-00 at 77
F/25 C and 50% relative humidity. All thixo-
tropic resins should be mixed well prior to use.
The use of thixotropy degrades the corrosion
performance of a resin in some chemical
environments such as sodium chloride. All tests

PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES
A. Keep full strength catalyst levels
between 1.0% – 2.0% of th
B. e 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. Finished part surfaces that have
been cured at room temperature in
contact with air should be relatively
tack free. They may not, however, be
fully cured and are thus not as re-
sistant to chemicals as a fully cured
part. If no further laminating is
planned, a 10% solution of 5% paraffin
wax solution (MP 115-118 F/46-
48 C) in styrene may be added to
the last resin layer to provide a tack
free surface.
D. Optimum cure and performance
may be obtained by post curing room
temperature cured laminates for two
hours at 158-212 F/70-100 C.
E. Room temperature curing by
means of cobalt acceleration should
be completed with low hydrogen
peroxide content MEKP catalyst to
minimize foaming.
STORAGE STABILITY
Vipel F010-CNP-25, F010-LKB-35,
F010-TBN-28 and F010-TBP-25 are
stable for 3 months from the date of
manufacture when stored in the origi-
nal containers, away from direct sun-
light or other UV light sources and at or
below 77 F (25 C). All other Vipel
F010 products are stable for 6 months
from the date of manufacture when
stored in original containers, away from
direct sunlight or other UV light sources
an at or below 77 F (25 C).
Storage stability of two months or less
should be anticipated if the storage
temperature exceeds 86 F (30 C).
After extended storage, some drift may
occur in the product viscosity and gel
time.
SAFETY
See the appropriate Safety Data Sheet
for guidelines.

PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES
A. Keep full strength catalyst levels
between 1.0% – 2.0% of th
B. e 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. Finished part surfaces that have
been cured at room temperature in
contact with air should be relatively
tack free. They may not, however, be
fully cured and are thus not as re-
sistant to chemicals as a fully cured
part. If no further laminating is
planned, a 10% solution of 5% paraffin
wax solution (MP 115-118 F/46-
48 C) in styrene may be added to
the last resin layer to provide a tack
free surface.
D. Optimum cure and performance
may be obtained by post curing room
temperature cured laminates for two
hours at 158-212 F/70-100 C.
E. Room temperature curing by
means of cobalt acceleration should
be completed with low hydrogen
peroxide content MEKP catalyst to
minimize foaming.
STORAGE STABILITY
Vipel F010-CNP-25, F010-LKB-35,
F010-TBN-28 and F010-TBP-25 are
stable for 3 months from the date of
manufacture when stored in the origi-
nal containers, away from direct sun-
light or other UV light sources and at or
below 77 F (25 C). All other Vipel
F010 products are stable for 6 months
from the date of manufacture when
stored in original containers, away from
direct sunlight or other UV light sources
an at or below 77 F (25 C).
Storage stability of two months or less
should be anticipated if the storage
temperature exceeds 86 F (30 C).
After extended storage, some drift may
occur in the product viscosity and gel
time.

Pub. No. G-AOC-Altek C949-F Copyright 2012, AOC L.L.C. Effective Date: January 2012
ISO 9001:2008 CERTIFIED
The Quality Management Systems
at every AOC manufacturing facil-
ity have been certi ed as meeting ISO
9001:2008 standards. This certi cation
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 at 77 F/25 C and 50%
relative humidity. All tests performed on
unreinforced cured resin castings. Thixotropic
components, if applicable are excluded from
casting samples. Castings were post cured.
(2)
The gel times shown are typical but may
be affected by catalyst, promoter and inhibi-
tor concentrations and resin, mold and shop
temperature. Variations in gelling character-
istics can be expected between different lots
of catalysts and at extremely high humidities.
Pigment and fillers can retard or accelerate
gelation. It is recommended that the fabri-
cator check the gelling characteristics of a
small quantity of resin under actual operating
conditions prior to use.
PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES
A. Keep full strength catalyst levels
between 1.0% – 2.0% of the total resin
weight.
B. Maintaining shop temperatures
between 65 F/ 18 C and 90 F/32 C
and humidity between 40% and 90%
will help the fabricator make a high
quality part. Consistent shop condi-
tions contribute to consistent gel times.
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 77 F/25 C.
Storage stability of two months or less
should be anticipated if the storage tem-
perature exceeds 86 F/30 C.
After extended storage, some drift may
occur in the product viscosity and gel time.
Storage in plastic totes made out of materi-
als such as polyethylene (PE) or polypro-
pylene (PP) in particular translucent PE/
PP, will accelerate gel formation and result
in a signi cantly reduced storage stability.
Storage of this resin outdoors in translu-
cent plastic totes may reduce the storage
stability to only a few weeks. AOC cannot
assume responsibility for gel formation
under these storage conditions.
Altek
C949-F Series
Polyester Resin
APPLICATION GUIDELINES
Due to the excellent curing character-
istics of the Altek C949-F series resin,
complete all secondary bonding as soon
as possible. Exposing the laminate to
sunlight will result in severe secondary
bonding problems. After 24 hours of
cure, it may be necessary to abrade the la-
miante to insure good secondary bonding,
especially if the surface of the laminate is
resn rich. Avoid low berglass content
and resin puddling with this product.
