The range includesc orrosiona ttributable to chemical processes,t o
corrosion of highways and bridges from de-icing chemicals, to atmospheric
corrosion of as teel fence. The economicl ossesa ttributable to corrosiona re
confirmed by varioust echnical organizations such as NACE International
and others.
Chemical-resistant mortars, grouts, and monolithic surfacings are used
for protecting steel and concrete in ahost of applications. Chemical-resistant
mortars and grouts for installing all sizes and shapes of brick, tile, and
ceramics provide the premier thermal, physical,a nd chemical-resistant
sheathing for protecting linings and membranes appliedt os teel and
concrete. Typical applications include the following:
1. Below, on,and aboveg rade floors
2. Pickling, plating, storage, and chemical process tanks and towers
3. Waste holding and treatment tanks
4. Dual containmentf or outdoor process ands torage vessels,
including leak detection systems
5. Stacks and scrubbers from incineration and treatment of toxic
waste fumes
6. Above- and below-grade trenches, pipelines, sumps, and manholes
Polymer concretes can be used as fast-set, totally chemical-resistant,
poured-in-place slabs or as at opping for refurbishing of existing concrete
slabs. They areh ighly chemical-resistant materials of exceptional physical
properties that can also be used for amultitude of precast applications such
as curbs, piers, foundations, pump pads, stairt reads, trenches and covers,
sumps, and manholes.
Chemical-resistant, nonmetallic construction materials are formidable,
economical corrosionb arriersf or protectings teel andc oncrete when
compared to most alloys.
Nonmetallic construction systems can incorporate in their designd ual
containment and leak detection to meet all federal and state environmental
mandates.
The pursuit of clean air and water will continue unabated. Environmental
laws will continue to be stringent. Recycling, waste treatments, and incineration will requirec lose attention to corrosivity of all processes.
The agricultural industry,producers of various fertilizers and agricultural
chemicals, reliesonbrick-lined floors and tanks in the production of sulfuric
and phosphorica cids. Chemical storage and waste treatment facilities
requirep rotection from aggressive chemicals and waste byproducts.
