Dual-polymer laminates for corrosion-resistant equipment

This paper describes combining a thermoplastic liner with a conventional fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) exterior to yield a system that offers excellent chemical resistance and strength properties. Tanks, equipment, and piping made this way are often cheaper than those of competing alloys. The dual-polymer laminates provide a new approach to resisting attack by severe chemical environments and storing highly purified chemicals without contamination. Construction is similar to lining a steel vessel with a thermoplastic; but, with dual laminates, the liner can be build first, with structural layers added later.
