Chemical Processing
The material handling environment found in the chemical processing industry can be extremely corrosive. Material selection is critical, as reliability and maintenance are dependent on these choices.
Coatings and Linings
Coatings and linings made with INEOS Derakane™ epoxy vinyl ester resins have been successfully used to protect concrete and metal structures for more than 50 years.
Mineral Extraction
The aggressive process chemicals and elevated temperature environments commonly found in mineral recovery operations (hydromet) are among the most corrosive of any industry.
Power Generation
FRP using Derakane™ epoxy vinyl ester resins has long been used in coal fired plants due to the highly corrosive elements found in the flue gas desulfurization (FGD) scrubbing process.
Pulp and Paper
Derakane™ resins resist a variety of corrosive chemicals encountered in a pulp and paper mill, at both ambient and elevated temperatures. Unlike metals, Derakane™ resins are unaffected by chloride stress or crevice corrosion and are highly resistant to pH extremes.
Water Treatment
Derakane™ stands up to corrosive process streams, chemical scrubbing media and chemical by-products of scrubbing processes and cleaning solutions. Fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) made with INEOS Derakane™ epoxy vinyl ester resins is heavily used whenever water is part of the equation.
