CONLEY COMPOSITES CHEMICAL RESISTANCE GUIDE 4544 Broadmoor Ave. SE, Kentwood, MI 49512 USA 07/15/2008 Phone: 616.512.8000 Fax: 616.512.8001 CHEMICAL RESISTANCE OF CONLEY PIPING SYSTEMS The information contained in this literature is based upon case histories, field experience, cooperative testing, and the evaluation of the Conley Technical Committee. Conley Piping Systems have performed satisfactorily in corrosive chemical environments for nearly half a century. The success of any installation requires, however, proper system design, fabrication and application of our products. The information in the following tables is for recommendation only and not a warranty for which Conley assumes responsibility. Conley Composites offers a limited warranty of its products, which is in the Terms and Conditions of Sale. The information contained in the literature and catalogs furnished by Conley Composites cannot ensure, of itself, a successful installation and is offered to customers subject to these limitations and explanations. As an integral part of our ongoing quality policy and our Commitment to Excellence, Conley Composites will strive to improve our products continually. The company therefore reserves the right, without notice, to change specifications and/or design at any time without incurring an obligation for equipment previously sold. Descriptions contained in our literature are for the purpose of identification and neither limits nor extends the standard product limited warranty set forth in the Terms and Conditions of Sale and Trade Customs. As it is readily discerned by the chemical resistance tables, there is broad overlap in resin system performance. Many customers use our products in combinations of chemical service that may magnify the corrosive nature of the media. Generally therefore, recommendations are based upon the system that provides optimum performance in a particular environment or has a long history of successful service in that industry. Multiple uses would be a reason to consider the versatility of the resin system. In addition, there are many media not listed or not recommended for which our products may be suitable due to very low concentrations or brief periods of exposure. Further, organic chemical environments are so varied as to be nearly infinite due to the possible combinations of chemicals. Furan resin piping is specifically designed to perform in organic media such as aggressive solvents including chlorinated materials, as well as acids and bases. These applications are such as those commonly found in the pharmaceutical industry. Generally acceptable media for Furan laminates include: Acids (Strong & Weak) Bases (Strong & Weak) Ketones Chlorinated Solvents Ethers Acrylates Acetates Styrene Benzene Toluene Xylene Carbon Disulfide Furfural Furfural Alcohol Tetrahydrofuran It is standard procedure at Conley Composites to interface with end users and design groups to assist in the selection of the corrosion barrier resin and piping schedule that will provide optimum performance in a given chemical environment. We welcome customers to discuss their applications with our Technical Committee by phone @ 918-299-5051, fax @ 918-299-5907, or e-mail [email protected].
