Thermoplastics Evolution as Corrosion/MIC Solutions

Thermoplastics continue to provide more robust, and longer-lasting industrial corrosion solutions. In this video presentation from our Plant Engineers Forum, Bryan Hutton representing Lubrizol and Corzan provides a comprehensive overview of several thermoplastic solutions and construction standards.

The session highlights CPVC, PVDF, and polypropylene material performance against aggressive chemical reagents and microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in industrial water and chemical handling.

Key material selection criteria, temperature ratings, pressure derating factors, and joining methodologies are discussed to help engineers choose the optimal nonmetallic material.
