FGI SPV Vinyl Ester Resins

SPV series of Vinyl Ester Resins were developed by FGI to meet the demand for increased quality and performance from traditional fibreglass products and the demand for resins more suited to the exotic reinforcements used in today’s high tech applications. SPV series vinyl ester resin is based on the Derakane™ family of Vinyl Ester Resins. Derakane™ resins having proven performance in the chemical industry from their development in the USA in the mid 1960’s. The objective of the research work and development of the SPV series was firstly to allow the product to be used in common factory conditions while still achieving laboratory performance. Secondly, as we were developing the resins for the performance market, we examined the reinforcement/resin interface. The high strength of the reinforcement can only be optimised if the correct conditions exist at the reinforcement/resin interface. Increased laminate properties have been achieved by improvement in fibre wetting, increase wetting speed and reduction of air entrapments in the laminate. SPV Vinyl Ester Resins have significantly contributed to the improved production of Australian made boats, yachts, swimming pools, safety equipment and industrial process equipment which equals or exceeds the quality and performance of similar products made anywhere in the world. SPV has been a leader in preventing osmosis in swimming pools, marine craft, and solving high heat and highly corrosive applications. The emergence and acceptance of composites in structural and infrastructure applications is now broadening this scope to less traditional applications such as rail cars, bridge deckings, electrical cross-arms and marine pilings, to name just a few. The SPV series is also tailor made to suit specific climate and workshop conditions, project type etc. Consult FGI technical staff for the correct grade of SPV vinyl ester resin to suit your specific application. FGI technical staff have many years of engineering and application experience to help ensure your projects success. Case histories and specific technical data available on request.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF FGI FIBRETECH OSMOSIS REPAIR SYSTEM ON MARINE CRAFT

1. Remove gelcoat with 1mm of laminate.

2. Only when dry, primer coat with Fibretech Primer Coat using SR Catalyst at a ratio of 2%. Resin rich application: see usage rate. 3. Laminate with 225g Chopped Strand Mat and Fibretech Laminate coat using FGI SR Catalyst at a ratio of 1.5%. Resin to glass ratio 3:1. Number of layers will be determined by condition of hull. 4. Once laminate has cured sand off sharp fibres and repair any bubbles by repeat process. 5. Apply Fibretech Fillcoat using FGI SR Catalyst at a ratio of minimum 1.5% by weight (low temperature eg 15° use 2%). Apply with long nap application roller or spray gun (pressure pot) to 0.5mm thick. 6. Allow to cure (minimum 24 hours at 20°C). 7. Sand surface to ensure complete adhesion of high build epoxy. 8. Apply high build epoxy to data sheet recommendations. 9. Sand surface once cured. 10. Never apply to damp or dust coated surface. 11. Approximate material usage per metre of hull:

Fibretech Primer Coat - 0.4kg 1 x 225g CSM - 0.25kg/m Fibretech Laminate Resin with 1 x 225g CSM - 0.8kg/m Fibretech Fillcoat - 0.6kg/m

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF FGI FIBRETECH POOL RESURFACING SYSTEM ON CONCRETE SWIMMING POOLS

1. A: Acid wash new rendered concrete with 20:1 HCL or, B: Sand blast painted surfaces C: Acid wash marblesheen with 5:1 HCL 2. When dry, primer coat with Fibretech Primer Coat using SR Catalyst at a ratio of 2%. 3. Laminate with 225g Chopped Strand Mat and Fibretech Laminate coat using FGI SR Catalyst at a ratio of 1.5%. 4. Once laminate has cured sand off sharp fibres and repair air bubbles. 5. Apply Fibretech Fillcoat using FGI SR Catalyst at a ratio of minimum 1.5% by weight (low temperature eg 15°C use 2%). Apply with long nap application roller. 6. Allow to cure (minimum two hours). 7. Sand off any defects. 8. Only apply Fibretech Topcoat out of direct sunlight (either late in the afternoon or preferably early morning). Use a minimum of 1.5% NR20 MEKP Catalyst. Keep a wet edge at all times. Use a long nap application roller. 9. Never apply to damp or dust coated surface. 10. Approximate material usage per m² of pool:

Fibretech Primer Coat - 0.4kg 225g CSM - 0.25kg/m² Fibretech Laminate Resin - 0.8kg/m² Fibretech Fillcoat - 0.6kg/m² Fibretech Topcoat - 0.6kg/m² 11. To use on existing Fibreglass pools without osmosis, sand the entire surface, tile around the waterline and complete steps 5 onwards.
