Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) resins are the backbone of heavy industrial applications, providing essential corrosion resistance and strength. The proper specification of these resins is critical to ensuring that they can withstand the demands placed upon them. Not all resins are created equal, however. While commercial resins are widely available, high-grade resins like the INEOS Derakane family offer extreme service and are specifically engineered to withstand harsh environments.
As a global manufacturer of chemicals and polymers, INEOS is a leader in the chemical industry, and the Derakane family of resins represents their commitment to producing high-quality resins for demanding applications. From the high-temperature applications of Derakane 510A/B/C and Derakane 510N, to the general-purpose Derakane 411, to the high-strength Derakane 470, INEOS offers a variety of resins that can withstand a wide range of operating conditions.
Selecting the correct Derakane resin for a particular application depends on several factors, including the chemicals that will be stored or transported and the operating conditions. For example, Derakane 441 is an intermediate-strength resin that is often used in pulp and paper applications, while Derakane 455 is designed specifically for the transportation and storage of gasoline and other fuels. Derakane 451, on the other hand, is a high-strength resin that is used in oil and gas applications.

It includes info on chemical constituents of each resin, what their service temperatures are, their abrasion resistance, elastic modulus, chemical resistance, coefficient of thermal growth, flame spread rating, and even average relative cost.
Industries that rely on FRP resins tend to be very profitable and cannot tolerate unplanned plant shutdowns or downtime. As a result, they demand products that can withstand extreme conditions for extended periods. For example, with the growing demand for lithium production, the demand for high-strength FRP resins is expected to increase. Lithium is a critical component of many electronic components and technologies, including electric vehicles and grid-scale energy storage. As the production of these technologies increases, so too will the demand for high-strength FRP resins.
However, selecting the right FRP resin is just the beginning. Proper installation is critical to ensuring optimal performance and avoiding costly unplanned downtime. Even when the correct Derakane resin is selected, improper installation can compromise its performance and lead to corrosion and other issues. Having an on-site technical expert present during installation can help ensure that everything goes smoothly and that all procedures are followed.

The INEOS Derakane family of resins offers extreme service and is specifically engineered to withstand harsh environments. The selection of the proper resin depends on several factors, including the chemicals and operating conditions. With the growing demand for renewable energy sources such as lithium production, the demand for high-strength FRP resins is expected to increase. Proper installation is also critical, and the presence of an on-site technical expert can help ensure success.
