DERAKANE CHEMICAL RESISTANCE GUIDE

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Derakane and Derakane Momentum epoxy vinyl ester resins, developed by Ashland, are designed for corrosion-resistant applications in Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (FRP). These resins are renowned for their exceptional resistance to a wide range of chemicals, making them ideal for industrial use.
Product Description
Derakane resins are categorized based on their chemical and thermal resistance properties:
  • 411 Series: Standard epoxy vinyl ester resins resistant to acids, alkalis, and solvents.
  • 441-400 Series: Low styrene monomer resins with high heat distortion temperature (HDT) and elongation, suitable for thermal cycling.
  • 470 Series: Epoxy novolac-based resins with superior thermal and chemical resistance, ideal for flue gas applications.
  • 510A/C Series: Brominated resins with high fire retardance, resistant to chlorine and bleach environments.
  • 8084 Resin: Elastomer-modified resin offering high toughness and adhesion, used for structural applications.
Chemical Resistance Table Usage
The guide includes a table listing maximum service temperatures for various Derakane resins, with indicators such as NR (Not Recommended) and LS (Limited Service), and footnotes for ensuring good service life.
Special Cases and Recommendations
Special attention is required for chemical mixtures and alternating environments, as they can be more aggressive. Consultation with Ashland is advised for specific recommendations.
Postcure Recommendations
Postcure processes are recommended to extend resin service life, especially near maximum temperature limits.
Conclusion
For specific applications, users should refer to industry standards and consult Ashland's technical resources for appropriate resin selection and use.
Product Overview
Derakane 8084 is a bisphenol-A epoxy vinyl ester resin modified with an elastomer, noted for its toughness, impact resistance, and adhesion, ideal for structural applications and primers.
Fire Retardancy
The fire retardancy of cured products is evaluated using the ASTM E84 tunnel test, though it does not predict real-world fire behavior. Derakane resins can ignite under suitable conditions.
Chemical Resistance Guide
The guide lists products and chemical environments, indicating the highest known temperature at which Derakane resins have been tested, with performance in industrial applications or laboratory tests.
Using the Chemical Resistance Table
The table provides chemical resistance information for various Derakane resin series, with 'NR' for 'Not Recommended' and 'LS' for 'Limited Service'.
Post-Curing Recommendations
Post-curing enhances product lifespan at temperatures below 100°C. For temperatures above 100°C, specific Barcol hardness values should be achieved before use.
Specific Cases and Safety
Testing under real or simulated conditions is advised for specific cases. Safety precautions for handling are similar to those for unsaturated polyester resins.
Disclaimer
Recommendations are based on Ashland's experience but do not guarantee results. Users should consult Ashland's technical departments for specific recommendations.
Overview
This document is a chemical resistance guide for Derakane resins, providing maximum service temperatures for various chemical environments.
Key Sections

Content This listing of chemical reagents and environments shows the highest known temperature at which equipment made with Derakane and Derakane Momentum™ resins has, in general, either: • given good service in industry or • been tested in the field or in the laboratory (in accordance with ASTM C 581) with results that indicate a good life expectancy in service. It should be noted that this is not necessarily the maximum service temperature. The temperature limits in each row are representative of the whole series of resins (e.g., Derakane 411 resin applies to 411-350, 411-45, 411C-50, etc.)...

Derakane Chemical Resistance Guide English In the chemical resistance tables, a blank space simply indicates that no data was available at the time that temperature ratings were assigned. NR stands for “not recommended” at any temperature. LS stands for “limited service” (at least 3 days to 1 year at maximum 40°C/100°F). Generally in these cases, the respective resins can be used for FRP that is exposed accidentally, and where cleaning and inspection are possible after no more than 3 days. This guide is updated on a regular basis in order to take into consideration all the new experiences and...

Derakane Chemical Resistance Guide English Insufficient Information In cases where the environment or exposure conditions are outside the scope of this guide and if, therefore, no specific recommendations can be made, a test laminate should be exposed to the actual, or simulated, conditions proposed so that a final decision on resin suitability is made. Coatings and Linings (reinforced and non-reinforced) Coatings and linings have their own specific properties and may be limited in operating temperatures because of thermal expansion. In special cases, it is recommended to consult with the Ashland...

DERAKANE CHEMICAL RESISTANCE GUIDE -10

The information given in this guide represents the performance of full FRP structures under continuous use in contact with the stated chemical environment (unless otherwise indicated). It is sometimes difficult to predict just how aggressive certain combinations of chemicals will be toward FRP. Some mixtures are more aggressive toward FRP than the individual components, so special attention should be paid to aggressively synergistic chemicals that could not be simply predicted from the corrosion properties of the individual components. The chemical resistance also may be negatively influenced...
