Typically, the entire corrosion barrier is 2.5 to 6.3 mm (100 to 250 mil) thick. The first layer of the corrosion barrier is usually 0.3 to 0.8 mm (10 to 20 mil) thick and is 95% resin, reinforced by one or two surfacing veils. This layer is then backed with 2 to 6 mm (90 to 230 mils) of 75% resin, reinforced with chopped strand mat (powder 4 BRIEF PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Derakane™ 411 series resins are the globally recognized Derakane™ 455-400 resin is an unpromoted, highly Derakane™ 510N resin is a brominated epoxy novolac standard for epoxy vinyl ester resins.

Derakane 510™ resins are also very resistant to chemical attack in chlorine and bleach environments. 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. 5 HOW TO USE THE CHEMICAL RESISTANCE TABLE CONTENT This listing of chemical reagents and environments shows Each series of Derakane™ resins is based on the same In the chemical resistance tables, a blank space indicates the highest known temperature at which equipment made epoxy (or novolac) vinyl ester resin backbone.
