Fiberglass composites binder

Corrosion-Resistant Binder for Fiberglass Composites. A second application of furan resins is as a premium, corrosion-resistant binder for fiberglass for fabrication of FRP structures for the chemical process industry. Structures can be easily fabricated using "hand lay-up" techniques used to fabricate polyester composites (see Figure 4). In this fashion, pipes, ducts, tanks, scrubbers, etc., are produced for use with process media which quickly... 

The fiberglass/silicone composite coating is the only one tested that passed both the flame test and the low temperature flexural test. The silicone binder provides excellent adhesion properties to steel and several other materials and high strain to failure at low temperatures, and the high emissivity of the fiberglass enables effective radiation cooling.
