Derakane Chemical Resistance Guide
English
Brief Product Description Derakane and Derakane Momentum™ 411 resins are the globally recognized standard for epoxy vinyl ester resins. They are based on bisphenol-A epoxy resin, and they provide resistance to a wide range of acids, alkalis, bleaches and solvents for use in many chemical processing applications. They offer excellent toughness and fatigue resistance.
Derakane and Derakane Momentum 510A/C resins
Derakane and Derakane Momentum 441-400 resins
ester resin that offers a moderate degree of fire retardance1. It is the preferred resin in our portfolio for strong oxidizers such as chlorine dioxide. It is also useful in hot, wet flue gas environments where thermal upsets can occur and fire retardance is desired.
are low styrene monomer bisphenol-A epoxy vinyl ester resins with mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance properties between Derakane 411 and Derakane 470 resins. Their unique combination of high HDT and elongation makes them resins of choice for applications with thermal cycling, e.g., for chemical reaction vessels.
Derakane and Derakane Momentum 470 resins are epoxy novolac-based vinyl ester resins designed to provide exceptional thermal and chemical resistance properties. They offer high resistance to solvents, acids and oxidizing substances such as chlorine. They also offer high retention of strength and toughness at elevated temperatures, making them the resins of choice for flue gas applications.
are brominated epoxy vinyl ester resins that offer a high degree of fire retardance1. They are very resistant to chemical attack by chlorine and bleach environments. Their bromine content makes them tougher and more fatigue resistant than standard epoxy vinyl ester resins.
Derakane 510N resin is brominated epoxy novolac vinyl
Derakane 8084 resin is an elastomer-modified bisphenol-A epoxy vinyl ester resin that offers very high toughness, impact- and fatigue-resistance, and excellent adhesion. It is the resin of choice for demanding structural applications and as a primer for chemically resistant FRP linings.
1 The degree of retardance achieved in properly formulated cured products made of these resins is most frequently
quantified by the ASTM E84 tunnel test. This is a controlled test that compares flammability characteristics of one material with another, but may not be predictive of behavior in a real fire situation. Derakane and Derakane Momentum epoxy vinyl ester resins are organic materials and will burn under the right conditions of heat and oxygen supply.
