Brooks Composites design and manufacture with a wide range
of engineering thermoplastics and composites, matching the
corrosion resistant properties of individual materials to
the specific demands of each application. In each case there
is a specific corrosion barrier reinforced with an individually
designed glass/resin composite structure.
Materials
employed range from simple Orthophthalic and Isophthalic thermosetting
resins to the highly corrosion resistant Atlac, Derakane and
Furane range of resins.
The
thermoplastic and fluoropolymer materials employed as internal
corrosion barriers are UPVC, Polypropylene, PVDF, E-CTFE (Halar)
and FEP.
Corrosion
resistance table
The
following table is intended as a guide to the selection of
suitable construction materials. However, if you have a duty
requirement that is not covered below, please send your enquiry
to our Technical Department
The
classification categories are as follows:
|
R
= Resistant
|
|
Within
the acceptable limits of pressure and temperature with
the construction material being insignificantly affected.
|
|
CR
= Conditionally resistant
|
|
The
contents can attack the material and welds or cause swelling.
Before use, consideration must be given to concentration
of contents, pressure, temperature, volume and cyclic
loading. Service life of equipment may be shortened.
|
|
NR
= Not recommended
|
|
The
material is not recommended for use with the medium at
all.
|
|
ND
= No data available
|
|
This
does not preclude its use but reference should be made
to our Technical Department.
