Although dual laminates have been around since the 1960s, finding a universally agreed upon set of best practices for incorporating these fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) thermoplastic-lined products into your tanks and piping systems is nearly impossible. In fact, the first standards for welding of plastics, including liners, were not even introduced until 2015. Few fabricators […]

When you talk about fluoropolymer lining protection against chemical corrosion and permeation, PFA (perfluoroalkoxy) delivers the highest level of resistance. We can thank the strength of the Fluorine-Carbon bond within the PFA polymer chain for its incredible inertness. These bonds are so tight and enduring that they simply do not allow other atoms or molecules […]

When working with chemicals, the job of a lining is to either stop the chemicals from eating through their containment or to stop the container itself from contaminating the chemicals within. In the first case, we’re fighting chemical corrosion and permeation. In the second, we’re protecting chemicals that require ultra high purity to be effective. […]
