Chemical
Strong chemicals can easily weaken and destroy many metals and other materials. In chemical processing plants, plastics are used to help build systems strong enough to handle harsh chemicals in extreme environments and conditions.
Applications
- Laboratory equipment and furniture
- Drain-waste-vent systems
- Fume hoods and ducting
- Pump and valve components
- Lab countertops or other processing areas
- Chemical containers, storage or retention
- Plating tanks, barrels, parts
- Pulp and paper bleaching
- Gaskets, seals and spacers
- Piping
- Tank and tanker linings
- Wall linings
Benefits
- Corrosion resistant (broad spectrum chemical resistant)
- Low friction (ease of flow)
- Resistant to a wide range of temperatures
- Static dissipation
- Excellent strength-to-weight ratios
- Long lasting, durable
- Wide range of operating pressure/burst resistant
- Lightweight
- High purity
