Foamed glass blocks, coated with a 10-mil thickness of PTFE fluoropolymer, covering open-top tanks that collect 72% sulfuric acid at about 320/sup 0/F, are discussed. The covers are efficient in preventing a mist of sulfuric acid to form over the tanks. The insulating properties have reduced the loss of heat from the tanks. The PTFE coating has not been affected by constant exposure to the acid.
