CORVE8100 is a non-promoted, low viscosity, corrosion resistant vinyl ester resin for use in centrifugal casting,
pultrusion, and RTM applications. CORVE8100 is manufactured from ingredients listed as acceptable in FDA Code of
Federal Regulation Title 21, CFR 177.2420. This resin may be used safely as a component of articles intended for
single or repeated use in contact with food as prescribed in the regulation.
FEATURES BENEFITS
Moderate Laminate Exotherm Good cosmetic surface and minimal glass print
Fast Trim Time Shorter cycle times and fast Barcol development
Good Fiberglass Wet-Out Easy roll-out and high laminate physical properties
Non-Promoted Allows for flexibility in timing of manufacture

* Gel time and reactivity will vary due to the type and concentration of Free Radical Initiator (catalyst), shop temperature, humidity, and type of fillers used. In order to meet
your individual needs, consult our technical sales representative for assistance. If using methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) to gel and cure CoREZYN vinyl ester
resins we recommend only these three brands: Cadox L-50a (Nouryon); Luperox DHD-9 (Arkema); and Norox MEKP-925 (United Initiators). These must be used at
the appropriate percentage and suitable temperature. Contact your Interplastic Corporation representative for assistance.
