Technical Data Sheet
MFE-770 Novolac Vinyl Ester Resin
Product Description
MFE 770 is part of the second generation of MFE novolac vinyl ester resin family,
setting new standards in performance and handling. MFE-770 resins deliver high
temperature and solvent resistance, in a resin that has good wet-out and
processability.
It offers a high resistance to solvents and chemicals whilst maintaining retention of
strength and toughness at elevated temperatures Further it exhibits excellent
resistance to oxidizing acid environments. MFE-770 has been successful used in
heavy duty industrial applications over many years. It provides an economical
alternative to exotic alloys by allowing the use of lower cost FRP over traditional
materials.
Characteristics
- MFE 770 vinyl ester resin is an epoxy novolac-based resin designed to provide
exceptional thermal and chemical resistance properties at higher temperatures.
- It offers a high resistance to solvents, chemicals and oxidising acid environments
whilst maintaining retention of strength and toughness at elevated temperatures
- MFE 770 has been successful used in heavy duty industrial applications over many
years. It provides an economical alternative to exotic alloys by allowing the use of
lower cost FRP over traditional materials.
- Suitable for the applications such as FGD processes, industrial waste treatment
facilities, metal pickling and solvent extraction processes used in mining.
- FRP fabrication process including contact moulding (hand lay-up), spray-up,
pultrusion, infusion (RTM), etc
