Low HAP Materials

Abstract

Outline: Fatty Acid Vinyl Ester Resins/Composites with low hazardous air pollutant contents. Other low HAP composite resin developments. Low HAP Adhesives and Sealants. Summary: Environmentally friendly VE and UPE resins using fatty acid monomers and tailored VE molecular structure: Effectively reduce HAP emissions, Comparable resin and composite performance. Variety of other uses for plant oils in composites. Bio-rubber toughening agent increases toughness dramatically while maintaining Tg and vicosity. HAP-free repair resin performs similar to Bondo similar. New generation of environmentally friendly bio-based. composites in development. Low HAP adhesives and sealants. Army Green does not only refer to Army colors!
