Chemical/Physical Nature of DERAKANE MOMENTUM 470-300
DERAKANE MOMENTUM 470-300 resin is a novolac-based vinyl ester designed to provide exceptional mechanical properties at higher temperatures. This resin offers a high resistance to solvents and chemicals, good retention of strength and toughness at elevated temperatures, and excellent resistance to acidic oxidizing environments.
DERAKANE MOMENTUM resins are a new generation of resins that can be used to improve fabrication efficiency and product quality. Their lighter color makes defects easier to see and correct while the resin is still workable, and the longer stability provides additional flexibility to fabricators in storage and handling.
DERAKANE MOMENTUM 470-300 resin offers an economical alternative to exotic alloys by allowing the use of lower-cost FRP over traditional materials. This resin resists solvents, chemicals, and acidic oxidizing environments to provide long lasting, reliable equipment for corrosive materials. Please contact us before using thixotropic agents and fillers, since addition of thixotropic agents and fillers can compromise corrosion resistance.
DERAKANE MOMENTUM 470-300 resin retains strength and toughness at elevated temperatures, which enables users to operate equipment across a variety of high-temperature applications. It contains only 33 weight percent styrene, resulting in reduced styrene emissions and allowing fabricators to meet California’s South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule 1162.
Typical Liquid Resin Properties
At 25°C (77°F), DERAKANE MOMENTUM 470-300 resin has a dynamic viscosity of approximately 325 mPa·s (cps), a workable processing range for hand lay-up, spray-up, and resin transfer molding equipment. Cure can be controlled across a range of gel times at different temperatures using standard peroxide/cobalt promoter systems, giving fabricators flexibility to match pot life to the size and complexity of the part being produced.
Applications and Use
DERAKANE MOMENTUM 470-300 resin is suitable for applications involving high temperature chlorination or caustic scrubbing and storage, industrial waste treatment facilities, and solvent extraction processes used in mining. It is also used for hydrochloric acid transport, tank, truck and railcar linings, and gasohol storage.
DERAKANE MOMENTUM 470-300 is recommended for most commercial FRP fabrication processes, including hand lay-up, spray-up, pultrusion, and resin transfer molding. The higher viscosity of DERAKANE MOMENTUM 470-300 resin facilitates filament winding and contact molding applications. DERAKANE 470HT-400 resin can be used for even higher temperature applications.
Selecting Between DERAKANE MOMENTUM Grades
Buyers sourcing vinyl ester resin for corrosive-service equipment should confirm operating temperature, chemical exposure, and fabrication method with their supplier before finalizing a grade. DERAKANE MOMENTUM 470-300 is positioned for higher-temperature service than general-purpose vinyl esters, while DERAKANE MOMENTUM 411-350 and other grades in the same family cover a broader range of corrosion-resistant FRP applications; further technical guidance on vinyl ester resin systems is available from INEOS Composites.

FAQ
What is the resin used for?
It is used for high-temperature chlorination and caustic scrubbing equipment, industrial waste treatment facilities, solvent extraction processes in mining, hydrochloric acid transport and storage linings, and gasohol storage.
What makes this grade different from standard vinyl ester resins?
It is a novolac-based vinyl ester that retains strength and toughness at elevated temperatures and resists acidic oxidizing environments, making it suitable for higher-temperature service than many general-purpose vinyl ester resins.
Which fabrication processes work with it?
It is recommended for hand lay-up, spray-up, pultrusion, resin transfer molding, filament winding, and contact molding, with its higher viscosity supporting filament winding and contact molding applications in particular.
Can thixotropic agents and fillers be added to this resin?
Fabricators should contact us before using thixotropic agents and fillers, since their addition can compromise the corrosion resistance of the cured resin.
Can you provide technical documentation and bulk pricing for the resin?
Yes, technical data sheets and SDS documentation are available on request, and our team can provide bulk pricing and lead times once we understand your target application and order volume.
