NEW RESIN SYSTEMS FOR RELINING:
EXTRA FRIENDLY FOR THE ENVIRONMENT …
ensuring the optimum performance of sewer and waste water systems is essential for local and regional governments as well as industrial
organizations to avoid unnecessary disruption. in order to keep these systems working, repairs may be required that can restore functionality with
the lowest possible impact to those in the surrounding area.
dsm has a track record of many successful installations and a proven performance in relining solutions. its atlac™ premium resins can give you
peace-of-mind, offering the best options for consistent sewer functionality while allowing you to make a positive impact on the environment.
Responsible Relining with Atlac™ Premium
Leaking sewage pipes can now be repaired and restored in an environmentally-friendly way with Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP) relining systems based
on Atlac™ Premium resins from DSM. These relining systems offer local and regional governments the opportunity to repair leaking pipes quickly and
cost effectively. CIPP is a robust and well-proven solution that helps you make repairs without causing disruption to traffic, road congestion or unnec-
essary road works.
The relining method of CIPP involves a reinforced liner of glass or felt that is impregnated with a resin system. This liner is then inserted into the dam-
aged or leaking sewer pipe and cured via steam, water or light. After curing, a new composite sewer pipe is created within the pipe, which is even
stronger and longer lasting than the original pipe. The relining system enables long lengths of pipe to be renovated at the same time giving shorter
installation time for the engineer.
The Difference is Sustainability >>
Atlac™ Premium is completely label free
compared to existing resin systems as it consists
of environmentally friendly components. It also
poses no risk to water purification processes
and will not pollute the ground. Additionally
it does not affect the ecological environment
around sewers as there is no risk of disturbing
the nitrification process.
As well as its ‘green’ benefits Atlac™ Premium
is also safer and easier to use at the workplace
and during installation. There is no need for
special safety procedures, no exposure risk for
the user and there is no restriction on storage.
The additional benefit is that Atlac™ Premium
is odor free. This is important in urban or
densely populated areas, where smells can
cause unnecessary concern. For labeled resins
special precautions may be required, which
can be inconvenient and restrictive even in low
concentrations.
The new Atlac™ Premium resin system is able to
combine today’s strict performance requirements
of CIPP solutions while helping you to consider
minimizing impact on the environment.

Atlac™ Premium SystemA number of different resins can be used for making CIPP relining solutions depending on the composition and temperature
of the waste water. For normal sewer conditions, polyester resin is the most commonly used. For more industrial sewer
conditions, which often use higher temperature waste water, vinyl ester and/or epoxy resin systems are normally the
chosen options. With the new Atlac™ Premium resins, DSM combines the advantages of existing resins systems used for
relining with the added benefit of low environmental impact. DSM’s use of label-free components (i.e. components that
have no hazardous chemicals) has enabled it to produce relining technology that offers you cost-effective and less-
disruptive repairs without compromising the environment. Its features include:
- Label-free resins, a major step forward for sustainability;
- No smell, ideal for urban areas and/or residential environments;
- Strong chemical resistance (depending on conditions of the waste water);
- High temperature resistant;
- Mechanical properties meet strict European standards: “EN 13566-4”;
- Impregnation in controlled environment (not at location);
- Curing process can be perfectly regulated by temperature or light;
The ATLAC™ PREMIUM system is part of DSM’s portfolio of products that reinforce our commitment to safe, sustainable solutions.

Resin Systems used for Relining
Performance and impact testing Atlac™ Premium >>The performance and impact of Atlac™ Premium
has been measured and tested by an independent
industry regulator. The product was positively
tested in a 10,000 hour test for DIN 761/DIN 53
769-3. It was approved and certified in 2008 by
the German Hygiene Institute des Ruhrgebiets
after research into its impact on groundwater.
DSM also continuously tests and evaluates its
performance.
Industry launch of Atlac™ Premium >>
In March 2007, DSM’s new environmentally
friendly resin system, Atlac™ Premium, was
introduced to the market. The result was a
completely renovated sewer pipe system,
installed without inconvenience to local resi-
dents. It offered fast, low-hassle installation
and an expected lifespan of over 30 years.
DSM’s Atlac™ Premium has now been used
extensively for the installation and renovation of
sewers all over the Netherlands, including in the
municipalities of Heerlen, Dalfsen, Maastricht,
Oldenbroek and many more.
DSM has a proven product range, yet we do
not rest on our laurels. DSM keeps working,
testing and developing Atlac™ Premium as well
as other new materials and applications for the
sewer rehabilitation market.
