Atlac® 382 Flakes is a pulverized solid propoxylated bisphenol A fumarate polyester. The flakes can easily be dissolved in a reactive monomer, such as styrene, resulting in an unsaturated polyester resin. A solution of 50 % (w/w) Atlac® 382 Powder in styrene is commercially available as Atlac® 382 (see paragraph dissolving Atlac® 382 Flakes in styrene)
Atlac® 382 resins can be used in all fabrication methods, but are especially adapted to meet the requirements of filament winding, centrifugal casting, hand lay-up and spray-up applications. These resins may also be used to formulate glass flake coatings and mortars.
Atlac® 382 resins are suitable for high temperature water, acid and salt solutions and medium temperature alkali solutions.
Cured non-reinforced Atlac® 382 resins conform to type 1310 according to DIN 16946/2 and are classified group 5 according to DIN 18820/1 and group 6 according to EN12131/2.

Atlac® 382 resin in styrene can be made by dissolving 50 % (w/w) Atlac® 382 Flakes in 50 % (w/w) styrene. The most suitable mixing procedure will depend on the type of mixer that is available. When using a Cowless type mixer, first put all styrene into the container. Start agitation and add Atlac® 382 Flakes as fast as the agitation will remove the solid resin from the liquid surface. When a propeller-type mixer is used, add one half of the styrene into the mixing container and start agitation. Charge Atlac® 382 Flakes slowly with continuous vortex agitation. When all of the Atlac® 382 Flakes has been added and a homogenous mixture is obtained the remaining quantity of styrene can be added under continuous agitation.
It is advised to add a small quantity of inhibitor to the styrene before adding the Atlac® 382 Flakes. The inhibitor advised is p-tert-butylcatechol that is available in a 10% solution. (Inhibitor NLC-10 – AKZO-Nobel) Dissolving Atlac® 382 Flakes into styrene will be accelerated when increasing the temperature slightly up to 50°C
In order to adjust reactivity of the resin mixture both dimethyl aniline and cobalt have to be used. In the Atlac® Anti Corrosion Industry brochure starting formulations can be found for different reactivity characteristics.
See brochure Atlac® Anti Corrosion Industry for further details.
The resin should be stored indoors in the original, unopened and undamaged packaging, in a dark and dry place at temperatures between 5°C and 25°C. Storage at temperatures above 25°C can result in caking. Shelf life is reduced at higher temperatures and the properties of the resin might change during storage

Cured with 1 ml Butanox LPT-IN (AKZO-Nobel) and 0.5 ml Co-octoate solution (1 % Co in styrene) added to 100 g resin. Cured 24 h at room temperature and 24 h at 80°C. For HDT and Tgdyn post-curing 24 h at 120°C.
Cured with 1 ml Butanox LPT-IN (AKZO-Nobel) and 0.5 ml Co-octoate solution (1 % Co in styrene) added to 100 g resin. Cured 24 h at room temperature and 24 h at 80°C. Laminates were based on 4 layers of 450 g/m2 chopped strand mat.
Atlac® 430 normally exhibits tack-free cure. However, the surface may not be cured completely. To ensure tackfree curing of surfaces exposed to air, suitable additives (e.g. paraffin solution) should be added. The final state of cure may further be optimized by postcuring at elevated temperatures (e.g. 80 or 100 °C) for several hours. Post-curing is especially recommended if parts made from Atlac® 430 are intended for contact with chemicals. Atlac® 430 may be cured using MEK-Peroxide with a low content of hydrogen peroxide (e.g. Butanox LPT-IN, Curox M-102, with CHP and cumene hydroperoxide (e.g. Trigonox 239, Luperox Cu 50 VE).
The resin should be conditioned at a well-defined, application dependent temperature ( usually 15 °C minimum for a MEKP/Co cure).
The resin should be stored indoors in the original, unopened and undamaged packaging, in a dry place at temperatures between 5°C and 30°C and the properties might change during storage. Shelf life is reduced at higher temperatures and the properties of the resin might change during storage. The shelf life of styrene containing unsaturated polyesters will be significantly reduced when exposed to light. Store in dark and in 100%light tight containers only.
