Epoxy Vinyl Ester Resin – application, uses, and mechanical properties
As introduced in the previous newsletter, Derakane Momentum 411-350, an epoxy vinyl ester resin is based on bisphenol and provides resistance to a wide range of acids, alkalis, bleaches, and organic compounds for use in many chemical processing industry applications.
In this issue, let us explore the Applications and Use, Mechanical Properties, Storage and other info pertaining Derakane Momentum 411-350.
Application and Uses
This resin is suitable for fabricating FRP storage tanks, vessels, ducts, and on-site maintenance projects, particularly in chemical processing and pulp and paper operations. It is designed for ease of fabrication using hand lay-up, spray-up, filament winding, compression molding and resin transfer molding techniques, pultrusion and molded grating applications.
An alternate viscosity, optimized for some vacuum infusion processes, is available as DERAKANE MOMENTUM 411-200 resin.
Typical Mechanical Properties
The typical properties (1) of a cured casting (7) at 250C (770F) are detailed below
The typical properties (1) of a post-cured 6 mm (1/4″) laminate (9) at 250C (770F) are detailed below
Storage
This resin contains ingredients which could be harmful if mishandled. Contact with skin and eyes should be avoided and necessary protective equipment and clothing should be worn.
Drums – It is highly recommended that all material is stored at stable temperatures below 250C (770F). Avoid exposure to heat sources such as direct sunlight or steam pipes. To avoid contamination of product with water, do not store outdoors. Keep sealed to prevent moisture pick-up and monomer loss. Rotate stock.
All things being equal, higher storage temperature will reduce product stability and lower storage temperature will extend product stability.
