Atlac® E-Nova FW 2045

Easy-processing Vinyl ester resin for demanding corrosive environments

Product description

Components based on Atlac® E-Nova FW 2045 feature excellent thermal and chemical resistance against solvents, acids and oxidizing media like chlorine and alkalines.

With Atlac® E-Nova FW 2045 resin you can make strong and durable parts with excellent heat resistance. The resin is very easy to convert in multiple processes.

Major applications

Atlac® E-Nova FW 2045 provides the same excellent thermal and chemical resistance against solvents, acids and oxidizing media as an Epoxy novolac Vinyl ester, but offers in addition resistance against alkaline. The resin is recommended for fabrication of a broad range of chemical resistant equipment.

Atlac® E-Nova FW 2045 is especially adapted to meet the requirements of filament winding, centrifugal casting, hand lay-up and spray-up applications, showing excellent fiber wetting.

Compared to conventional Vinyl ester resins, foaming after MEKP addition is highly reduced in Atlac® E-Nova FW 2045, leading to lower air inhibition both inside the laminate and at the laminate surface.

Certifications and Approvals

Cured non-reinforced Atlac® E-Nova FW 2045 conforms to type 1310 according to DIN 16946/2 and is classified group 5 according DIN 18820/1.

According to EN13121/1 Atlac® E-Nova FW 2045 is classified group 7B.

Key benefits

Continued operation of process equipment
Resisting elevated temperatures
Low maintenance and low cost of ownership
Easy processing in multiple conversion processes through excellent de-aeration and fiber wetting
