Corrosion-resistant resins in Australia
AOC corrosion-resistant resins for industry in Australia
Corrosion is one of the main threats to equipment lifetime in chemical production, power generation and municipal water treatment. Companies in Australia that design or fabricate composite equipment for aggressive chemicals, flue gases and hot process water can rely on AOC for Atlac® vinyl ester resins and related corrosion-resistant resin systems, backed by extensive laboratory data and field experience.
Applications for corrosion-resistant composites in Australia
Atlac® vinyl ester resins are selected for equipment exposed to corrosive chemical, thermal or hydrolytic conditions, or a combination of these. Typical applications include:
- Storage tanks and process vessels
- Process pipes and ducts
- Scrubbers and chimneys
- Linings for corrosive environments
- Food-contact and potable-water equipment
For projects in chemical production and other demanding sectors in Australia, the right resin depends on the specific chemicals, concentrations and operating temperatures.
Proven Atlac® vinyl ester technology
AOC's heritage in composites goes back to 1947 in the Netherlands, and Atlac® corrosion-resistant resins have been used for more than seven decades. That experience brings extensive laboratory data, field experience and application knowledge to projects in Australia. Where higher chemical or temperature resistance is required, Novolac vinyl ester solutions extend the operating window.
For filament winding, AOC offers low-viscosity, fiber-wetting formulations selected for the required chemical resistance, mechanical performance and cure profile. Atlac® systems are also available for other composite processes used in tank, pipe and equipment fabrication.
Get the right resin recommendation for Australia
Every corrosive environment is different. With AOC's Chemical Resistance Advice service, customers in Australia receive a resin recommendation for their specific application. You provide details such as:
- Chemicals and concentrations
- pH
- Operating and design temperatures
- Exposure conditions
- Construction details
AOC then uses its test database and field experience to advise on suitable resin systems and laminate considerations.
Consistent quality and technical support for Australia
Every AOC manufacturing facility operates under an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system, with production sites in the Americas, Europe, India and China. AOC Technical Service supports fabricators with product selection, processing recommendations, trials and troubleshooting, and involves R&D when a tailored development is needed. Product datasheets, safety data sheets and regulatory information are available on request.
Final suitability should always be verified in your own process. Contact AOC to discuss corrosion-resistant resins for your next project in Australia.
