Hetron is a tank liner coating not a laminating resin. It is used to coat
the inside of caustic chemical and petroleum tanks. Closer to vinyl ester
floor paint than real epoxy. Somewhat flexible and cures with MEKP. Some
Bromated Epoxy vinyl esters are used with reinforcing to build tanks and
high end bathroom fixtures but generally to low a modulus for boat building.
It is very resistant to permeation though.

find a manufacturer who claims to have both systems in one product, I'd
love to hear about it!


Mike,
This is the stuff i was mentioning in an earlier post. Is this an
epoxy-vinyl ester blend?
