MODERNIZING VINYL ESTER RESINS FOR ELEVATED PERFORMANCE

Collaborating with industry leaders to assure modern performance, Derakane™ Signia™ resins were developed to bring value to fabricators and end users of FRP equipment. The results speak for themselves: less environmental impact, better quality and efficiency – all contained within an identifiable resin system. Signature (sig’ne-tyur) n. – 1. a badge or distinguishing mark of honor 2. a distinctive characteristic or set of characteristics by which a structure is recognized Signia™ (sig-ne- ) n. – 1. our signature formula 2. the promise of authenticity for assured performance of epoxy vinyl ester...

Introduced in the 1960s to combat corrosion in hot, wet chlorine environments, Derakane™ epoxy vinyl ester resins (EVER) have become the industry standard for corrosion-resistant fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) equipment. High performing derivatives have been introduced over the years to provide vinyl ester solutions for expanded chemical environments, high temperature performance and areas requiring improved toughness. With the introduction of Derakane™ Signia™, INEOS Composites has leveraged new production capabilities to modernize resin features and benefits including improved environmental...

Making the best even better—faster fabrication and less time on mold for more shop throughput and profitability. Improved Processing Efficiency FRP fabricators count on Derakane™ epoxy vinyl ester resins for proven performance backed by decades of documented in-service reliability. Derakane™ Signia™ resins bring modernized features and benefits to minimize labor and maximize performance. Derakane™ Signia™ resins deliver improved productivity with faster laminate consolidation, lower foaming (Figure 2) and reduced sanding for application of secondary laminations. Comparisons between sanded and...

Longer Shelf Life Derakane™ Signia™ resins also provide a 50% longer commercial warranty versus current epoxy vinyl ester resins (see Figure 4). This means Derakane™ Signia™ performs well in all parts of the world. Better material utilization for fabricators and better inventory control for distributors — two more reasons Derakane™ Signia™ resins are worth selecting for your operation. Same mechanical properties, corrosion properties — all with better processing. Consistent Polymer Backbone Assurance of corrosion performance is critical to users and specifiers of FRP equipment. Derakane™ Signia™...
