Derakane™ 455-400 resin is an unpromoted, highly crosslinked novolac epoxy vinyl ester. This product allows the use of standard MEKP and exhibits excellent exotherm control and storage stability. Derakane™ 455-400 resin contains less than 35% styrene and offers a higher heat distortion temperature compared to Derakane™ 451-400 resin. It also exhibits excellent solvent and acid resistance, as well as high flexural strength and heat resistance.
