Best Solutions to Corrosion Found On-Line

November, 2008 : Collierville, TN

The internet’s best place for corrosion-resistant composites is www.corrosionresins.com.Fabricators, engineers and end-users looking for the best solutions to fight corrosion can by-pass their web browsers and go directly to www.corrosionresins.com.  This internet site’s state-of-the-technology content is presented and regularly updated by the AOC Corrosion Team.

Resin Selector
The heart of the site is the comprehensive Resin Selector system, which offers three distinct paths to engineered solutions for corrosion resistance.  Users can search by Market Segment, Chemical Environment or Competitive Product to arrive at specific Vipel® technologies that are best designed for the entered criteria.

The Vipel resin family offers an extensive range of isophthalic polyester, terephthalic polyester, vinyl ester and other polymer chemistries.  As a result, engineering teams can specify Vipel-based composites that most cost effectively achieve the required performance. 

Because each Vipel resin has a distinct niche for resisting corrosive attack, the Vipel line covers resistance profiles for a wide range of chemicals, solvents and hydrocarbons.  Higher performing resins target specifications that call for enhanced properties such as flame retardance and resistance to fatigue, thermal shock and mechanical shock.

Available on the “corrosionresins” site, AOC’s popular Fabricators Guide was recently updated, expanded and improved.Market Development Leadership
In addition to helping fabricators choose the optimum Vipel® resin for the job, www.corrosionresins.com showcases the benefits of corrosion-resistant composites to engineers and end-users.  Tutorials, technical data, technical papers, case histories, reference guides and resources demonstrate AOC’s commitment to lead the market development and growth of  the global composites industry. 

The “Benefits of FRP” section is an especially helpful brief on how composites are made and how they outperform other materials of construction such as metals, concrete and wood.  In addition to offering superior corrosion resistance, composites can lower system costs, reduce paperwork, and have an integral finish that eliminates costly painting and maintenance.

www.corrosionresins.com features several technical guides that can be an education tool for those new to composites or a ready reference to technical data and advice for the more experienced.  A host of case histories shows proven applications where engineers turned to Vipel technologies to meet demanding requirements.

In addition, the menu appearing at the top and bottom of each page offers entry into a helpful Resources directory.  This service facilitates the search for engineering consultants, inspectors and testing labs for composite manufacturers and their customers. 

Histories help engineers and specifiers better understand composite benefits.Transparent Access
The web site offers two user-friendly routes to connect with individuals ready to help.  The first route is a click on the Corrosion Advisor button that appears throughout the site.  The button opens an e-mail directly to AOC’s Corrosion Product Leader, a chemical engineer with years of corrosion technology expertise. 

Site visitors can also e-mail, phone or fax any member of the AOC Corrosion Team by accessing the Team directory through the menu bar on each www.corrosionresins.com page.  Many site visitors use the Team button to find the Corrosion Specialist assigned to their specific geographic region.  AOC Corrosion Specialists are experienced professionals who offer practical technical support and become an integral part of the corrosion engineering process. 

Other AOC Corrosion Team members are the Open Mold-Reinforced Business Manager, the Corrosion Product Leader, Regional Sales Managers and the Technical Service Managers of North American resin plants.
