Abstract
Abstract A flexible crack-resistant and chemically resistant thermosetting vinyl ester resin is produced by co-reacting an epoxy resin, a carboxyl terminated elastomer and an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, such as acrylic or methacrylic acid. The neat resin is miscible and copolymerizable with ethylenically unsaturated monomers such as styrene. A novel cast pipe utilizes the resin of the invention as an unreinforced crack-resistant inner lining. This abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application which, of course, is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
In a centrifugally cast pipe of the type having a body of thermosetting plastic reinforced with a fibrous reinforcing material distributed essentially throughout said thermosetting plastic, the improvement which comprises an unreinforced lining on the inside diameter of said pipe of a flexible thermosetting resin comprising an admixture of (1) a neat thermosetting resin comprising the reaction product of an epoxy resin, a carboxyl terminated elastomer selected from the group consisting of carboxyl terminated homopolymers and copolymers of conjugated dienes and an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, wherein approximately one chemical equivalent of epoxy is provided for each chemical equivalent of carboxyl provided by said elastomer and said acid combined, and (2) an ethylenically unsaturated monomer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
114 words
In a centrifugally cast pipe of the type having a body of thermosetting plastic reinforced with a fibrous reinforcing material distributed essentially throughout said thermosetting plastic, the improvement which comprises an unreinforced lining on the inside diameter of said pipe of a flexible thermosetting resin comprising an admixture of (1) a neat thermosetting resin comprising the reaction product of an epoxy resin, a carboxyl terminated elastomer selected from the group consisting of carboxyl terminated homopolymers and copolymers of conjugated dienes and an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, wherein approximately one chemical equivalent of epoxy is provided for each chemical equivalent of carboxyl provided by said elastomer and said acid combined, and (2) an ethylenically unsaturated monomer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
The pipe according to claim 1 wherein said resin forming said unreinforced inner lining comprises approximately 50 weight percent of said neat thermosetting resin and approximately 50 weight percent to said ethylenically unsaturated monomer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The pipe according to claim 1 wherein said carboxyl terminated elastomer is selected from the group consisting of carboxyl terminated butadiene and a carboxyl terminated random copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
