Vinyl ester resins are a cross between polyester resins and epoxy resins.
Vinyl ester or epoxy.
You can put epoxy over polyester but not the other way.
It adds excellent strength rigidity adhesion water and chemical resistance.
These resins form durable laminates and coatings.
Vinyl ester can be used for concrete and steel tank linings or as a concrete floor topping.
The vinyl groups refer to these ester substituents which are prone to polymerize.
Vinyl esters also use peroxides e g.

Vinyl ester resin or often just vinyl ester is a resin produced by the esterification of an epoxy resin with acrylic or methacrylic acids.
The hardener catalyst for vinyl ester resin and polyester resins is mekp.
Polyester is small chain carbon whereas vinylester is long chain carbon which makes it more flexible.
Vinylester is essentially a styrene modified epoxy resin.
Essentially they comprise a base of polyester resin strengthened with epoxy molecules in the backbone of the molecular chain.
Vinyl ester resins are produced by the reaction esterification between an epoxy resin and an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid.
Cloth and polyester resin.
Epoxies belong to a family of resins which are epoxy functional which means they can be cured with amine curing agents at room temperatures to form excellent adhesives and composite resins.
These coatings typically exceed both polyester and epoxy in corrosion resistance temperature resistance and elongation toughness.
Vinyl ester resins are typically formulated from styrene and a condensation product of methacrylic acid with an epoxy.
Epoxies polyesters and vinylesters represent two resin families.
To cover wood a laminate using epoxy resin and 10 oz cloth will yield a much better job than 10 oz.
Vinyl is similar to polyester.
Regarding costs vinyl ester resin is more expensive than polyester resin but cheaper than epoxy resin.
Polyester will not stick to epoxy but vinylester will.
The curing process is radical initiated.
This condensation product acts as a crosslinking agent and to improve adhesion to glass fibers.
They are produced by the addition of α β unsaturated carboxylic acids to epoxy resins.
