Fluoropolymers Applications in Chemical Processing Industries - The Definitive User's Guide and Databook

Description

This handbook is a self-contained collection of data and information on applications of fluoropolymers components for corrosion control in chemical processing industries. Because of their superior properties, fluoropolymers have been rapidly replacing metal alloys for preserving the purity of processing streams in the chemical processing, plastics, food, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, and pulp and paper industries. This complete compendium of information about fluoropolymer lining materials and structural piping and tubing contains problem-solving tools for chemical processing professionals: equipment manufacturers, plant operators, and product design and manufacturing engineers.
