Atlac® 580 AC 300

Vinyl ester urethane resin used in Vacuum Infusion for Marine applications

Product description

Atlac® 580 AC 300 resin is broadly used for making fiber reinforced components through vacuum infusion processes, resulting in strong and durable boats and vessels with excellent hydrolysis resistance and good thermal stability.

The Atlac® 580 AC 300 resin has been certified by Lloyd's Register and RINA for use in Marine applications.

Major applications

Atlac® 580 AC 300 is developed for vacuum infusion applications. The resin is specially recommended for the production of fiber reinforced boats.

Atlac® 580 AC 300 features low viscosity enabling excellent fiber wetting and impregnation of glass fiber reinforcement materials. Compared to conventional vinyl ester resins foaming after MEKP addition is highly reduced in Atlac® 580 AC 300 leading to less air bubble inclusion and air inhibition inside the laminate.

The resin is pre-accelerated and allows good curing with low peak exothermic development during cure. Cured products of Atlac® 580 AC 300 show excellent hydrolysis resistance and good thermal stability.

Certifications and Approvals

Cured non-reinforced Atlac® 580 AC 300 conforms to type 1310 according to DIN 16946/2. According to EN13121/1 Atlac® 580 AC 300 is classified group 7B. The resin is certified by Lloyd's Register as laminating resin for use in Marine applications.
