Container with PFA lining

Container with PFA lining for the highest of demands

Inadequate protection of system components against corrosion causes a much-reduced service life and high maintenance requirements. As a result, maintenance costs increase, while the operational safety and efficiency of the system come to a standstill.

Nowadays, industrial plants are designed for reliable, high-performance operation, implemented by proven corrosion protection with AGRU PFA sheets. For the current project, AGRU PFA sheets laminated with knitted glass fabric were supplied by the German company KVG Kunststoff-Vertriebs KG to the processor Plasticon China Co., Ltd.

The containers for the distribution and containment of highly corrosive and toxic hydrofluoric acid (HF) were designed using the dual laminate process. This construction method is characterised by high temperature resistance and suitability for vacuum applications. The well-known processor Plasticon China Co., Ltd., uses this process with great expertise.

The fluoropolymer PFA (perfluoroalkoxy polymer) is widely used in chemical processes and is considered the industry standard for extreme chemical and thermal stress.
