2 PPH 90 Similar to PPGL but can be used for Higher 920 2600
temperatures upto 90 deg C
Notes:
1) This is just a general guide for thermoplactic liner selection for costing. Actual selection shall be based on the chemical
resistance chart supplied by the thermoplastic liner vendor, design temperature of the service and detailed chemical
composition of the fluid.
2) All the rates are applicable for 4 mm Thk liner only.
2 Epoxy resins = For the ultimate strength. In addition to increased strength properties, epoxies also generally outperform other resins like polyester and vinyl ester for
dimensional stability and increased bonding with other materials.
3 Vinyl Ester resins = Vinyl Ester Resin is considered to be a hybrid of polyester and epoxy resins, they have higher elongation and corrosion properties. They are highly resistant to
acids, alkalis, solvents, hypo chlorites and peroxides.Type are bisphenol-A
2 Isophthalic (polyester resin) 100 General. Better than Terephthalic 2% 1100 500000
HDT is higher than Isophthalic and Derakane 411, so can be
3 Bisphenol-Atlac 382 120 1120 750000
used for higher design temperature.
VinylEster-Derakane This is food grade resin. Can be used for potable water,
4 105 3-4% 1045 800000
momentum 411-350 food industry and many corrosive chemicals.
This has the higher HDT of all the above and better
VinylEster-Derakane corrosive resistance to many chemicals. Hence, is a
5 150 3-4% 1080 950000
momentum 470-300 desirable choice for high design temperature services. Upto
120 deg C.
VinylEster-Derakane
6 180 3% 1080
momentum 470-HT400
Notes:
1) This is just a general guide for resin selection for costing. Actual resin selection shall be based on the chemical resistance
chart supplied by the resin vendor, design temperature of the service and detailed chemical composition of the fluid.
2) For costing purpose the approximate density of FRP shall be 1600 kg/m 3 for equipment manufactured by Hand lay-up and
1750 kg/m3 for equipment manufactured by Handlayup/Filament Winding
Fiberglass Glass fibers are used to convey structural stiffness and strength to composite materials.Fiberglass comes in a wide variety of shapes; mats, roving, chopped
strands, glass veil and bands.Glass fibers are used to convey structural stiffness and strength to composite materials.
