DESCRIPTION
AOC’s Vipel F701 Series resins are
high molecular weight, two-stage
isophthalic, unsaturated polyester res-
in with the wet out, cure and handling
characteristics of general purpose res-
ins.
They have an excellent shelf life and
are ideal for filament winding and
spray-up. A few selected resins are
listed including the high viscosity base
resin, Vipel F701-FHG-00.
APPLICATION
Solvent resistance is field-proven for
many petroleum products such as ker-
osene, heating oil and crude oils.
BENEFITS
Corrosion resistance
AOC’s Vipel F701 series resins provide
excellent corrosion resistance when used
in contact with inorganic and organic ac-
ids.
Refer to AOC’s “Corrosion Resistant Resin
Guide” for corrosion resistance infor-
mation or for questions regarding suitabil-
ity of a resin to any particular chemical
environment contact AOC.
Versatile
Suitable for various fabricating methods
such as hand lay-up, spray-up and fila-
ment winding.
Food and Drug
All resins listed on this product data sheet
are manufactured from raw materials
that are listed in FDA regulation Title 21
CFR 177.2420.
It is the fabricators responsibility to be sure
that the final composite is well cured. All com-
posites used for FDA applications should be
post cured at 180 F/82 C for at least 4
hours. After post curing, laminate should be
washed with soap and water and then rinsed.

VIPEL
F701 SERIES CORROSION RESISTANT
ISOPHTHALIC POLYESTER RESIN
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
Vipel F701-BBB-00 and F701-FHG-00
are stable for 6 months from the date
of manufacture when stored in original
containers, away from direct sunlight
or other UV light sources and at or be-
low 77 F/25 C.
All other Vipel F701 products are sta-
ble 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.
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 unpromoted base resin used
in the manufacture of Vipel F701 series at 77 F/25 C.
All tests performed on unreinforced cured resin cast-
ings. Thixotropic components, if applicable are exclud-
ed 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.
