K1017MV General Purpose Vinyl Ester Resin
K1017MV Vinyl Ester Resin – Premium Laminating Resin
High-Performance Vinyl Ester Resin for Marine, Industrial & Composite Applications
K1017MV is a premium vinyl ester laminating resin designed for applications requiring excellent chemical resistance, mechanical strength and long-term durability.
Combining the processing characteristics of polyester resin with the enhanced performance of vinyl ester technology, K1017MV is an excellent choice for fibreglass laminating, boat building, chemical-resistant tanks, pipework and demanding composite fabrication.
Its low-to-medium viscosity allows excellent fibreglass wet-out and straightforward application using conventional hand lay-up and spray-up techniques.
Key Features & Benefits
Excellent Chemical Resistance – Suitable for demanding environments exposed to chemicals, moisture and corrosive conditions.
High Mechanical Strength – Produces strong, durable fibreglass laminates.
250–450 cP Viscosity – Promotes effective fibreglass wet-out and resin distribution.
15–25 Minute Gel Time – Typical gel time at 25°C using 2% Andonox LCR-S catalyst.
Excellent Laminating Properties – Suitable for hand lay-up and appropriately configured spray-up processes.
Versatile Applications – Suitable for marine, industrial and general composite manufacturing.
Typical Applications
Boat building and marine fibreglass repairs
Chemical-resistant tanks and containment equipment
Industrial pipework and fibreglass structures
Automotive and transport composites
Swimming pool and water-related fibreglass structures
General composite manufacturing and moulding

Catalyst & Curing
K1017MV requires a compatible methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) catalyst to initiate curing.
The gel-time figure above is based on testing with 2% Andonox LCR-S at 25°C. Actual working and curing times will depend on ambient temperature, laminate thickness and catalyst conditions.
Always follow the current technical data sheet and safety data sheet when selecting catalyst type and dosage.
Why Choose K1017MV?
When conventional polyester resins are not sufficient for demanding chemical, marine or industrial applications, K1017MV offers an enhanced-performance alternative.
Its combination of chemical resistance, mechanical performance and practical laminating characteristics makes it a versatile choice for professional fibreglass fabricators and industrial manufacturers.
