They have been used to fabricate thousands of different types of corrosion resistant FRP equipment. Many versions of HETRON and AROPOL resins have been developed for ease of handling during hand lay-up, spray-up, filament winding, pultrusion, centrifugal casting and most other meth- (ods of commercial fabrication. Ashland Specialty Chemical Company provides a variety of thermoset resins for corrosion resistant applications. Table 1 summé ’s the different types of resins. 3 Previous | Contents | Next
