The following information outlines the welded steel preparation process for steel tanks, stacks, ducts or other fabricated equipment for fluroropolymer linings. These steps need to be completed prior to the transport of the equipment to Electro Chemical for fluroropolymer lining implementation. Watch our process video and then follow the instruction steps below: A. Material Material […]

Knight Material Technologies (KMT), located in Canton, Ohio, has acquired Electro Chemical Engineering and Manufacturing Co. (EC) located in Emmaus, PA. KMT (www.knightmaterials.com) is a leading service provider and manufacturer in the corrosion-resistant materials industry, and EC is a leader in high-performance fluoropolymer-lined vessels. Combining the two companies’ solutions will create a larger, complementary product […]

Once installed and in use, it’s imperative to schedule periodic inspections of your tanks and equipment that handle corrosive chemicals. Both the interior and the exterior need a thorough evaluation to look for signs of wear, corrosion, stress, pitting, and more. Such inspections not only keep your people and our environment safe, but they save […]

Electro Chemical is certified by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) Bureau of Waste Management to employ certified installers and inspectors to perform certified activities on aboveground storage tanks regulated pursuant to the Storage Tank and Spill Prevention Act (35 P.S. Section 6021.101 et seq). Electro Chemical inspectors and installers are authorized […]

Piranha acid solution (a combination of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide) is highly effective at removing residual organic particles on substrates, making it very useful in the semiconductor field. But Piranha is also extremely corrosive and very dangerous. Its use requires attention to ultra high purity standards and protection against aggressive chemical corrosion. To safely […]

Dow and Electro Chemical Team Up to Save $2 MM in Maintenance Costs Project Earns MTI Global Value Award The Dow Chemical Company and Electro Chemical earned the Materials Technology Institute’s (MTI) 2016 Global Value Award for applying Materials Technology Institute (MTI) guidebooks as they collaborated on a scrubber repair project that solved Dow’s corrosion […]

Consider Halar® ECTFE or Tefzel™ ETFE as your liner material if you’re looking for a cost-effective fluoropolymer that can protect your equipment and tanks from both acids and caustics. Halar® and Tefzel™ both protect against corrosion caused by the full pH spectrum.  They are multi-environment standouts, making them good choices for a neutralization tank, for […]

Fluoropolymers are a family of plastics that use the fluoride ion to create superior protection against chemical corrosion and permeation. Partially fluorinated polymers provide cost effective corrosion barriers for many lining applications. Fully fluorinated polymers, due to the strength of the fluorine-carbon bond, provide resistance to attack from virtually all chemicals, making them the lining […]
