Hetron fire‐retardant polyester resins for corrosion control

THE development and commercialisation of Hetron polyester resins was pioneered by the Hooker Chemical Corporation more than 10 years ago to fulfil the diversity of industrial needs for resins with excellent fire‐retardant and chemical‐resistant characteristics. Hetron 92, one of the first such resins, and then Hetron 72 have proven themselves over these years in a variety of applications under the severest corrosive conditions and are now hall‐marks of quality in the field. Continued research has recently led to the development of the chemically resistant resin on the market today, Hetron 197. Further research is expected to lead to the introduction of similar unique resins in the future.
