Product Description
GEFLOR PPGL
Polypropylene Glass Lined system
GEFLOR PPGL is a chemical resistant lining system particularly for use in DM water plants
Copolymerized PP (polypropylene) sheets are fused with a glass woven fabric at high temperature This inline bonding gives GEFLOR PPGL excellent bond strength The glass fabric provides a base for application of resins and promotes adhesion and the Polypropylene face provides excellent chemical and UV resistance The composite also provides enhanced product performance with respect to improved mechanical resistance
- GEFLOR PPGL has excellent chemical resistance
- GEFLOR PPGL has good UV resistance
- GEFLOR PPGL has negligible joints
- GEFLOR PPGL has good abrasion resistance
GEFLOR PPGL bonding compound is highly chemical resistant and has excellent adhesion to concrete compared to other PPGL linings available in the market
Exceptional Chemical ResistanceThe glass lining is engineered to endure aggressive acids, alkalis, and solvents found in industrial environments. Its non-porous, acid/alkali resistant coating prevents chemical attack and corrosion, maintaining purity and structural integrity over years of use. This quality is especially beneficial in the production or storage of sensitive chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
Advanced Manufacturing ProcessThrough thermal fusion at high temperatures, high purity glass is bonded to steel substrates, creating a robust barrier with zero porosity. This factory-bonded method ensures strong adhesion between glass and base metal, thereby extending the equipments life and reducing the risk of wear or contamination. Customizations are available to meet specific capacity and design requirements.
Quality Assurance and ComplianceEvery glass-lined product undergoes a series of rigorous tests, including spark, porosity, thickness, and visual inspections, ensuring compliance with ASTM and DIN standards. Smooth edge finishes and non-contaminating materials guarantee quality, safety, and optimal performance in demanding industrial applications.
FAQs of Acid / Alkali Proof Glass lining:
Q: How is the acid/alkali proof glass lining applied to industrial equipment?
A: The lining is bonded through a thermal fusion process at high temperatures, where high purity glass is baked and fused directly onto a steel vessel, ensuring strong adhesion and a seamless protective layer.
Q: What types of chemicals and environments is this glass lining suitable for?
A: It is compatible with most industrial acids, alkalis, and solvents, excluding hydrofluoric acid. Its robust corrosion and abrasion resistance make it ideal for use in chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food industries, and storage applications.
Q: When should I consider using glass-lined equipment?
A: Glass-lined equipment is recommended when your process involves highly corrosive chemicals, requires non-contaminating surfaces, and demands long operational life. This is particularly relevant in harsh industrial, pharmaceutical, or food processing environments.
Q: Where can glass-lined vessels or components be installed?
A: These linings are used in reactors, storage tanks, process vessels, pipelines, and other containers found in industrial settings, with installations performed at the factory to ensure precise bonding and quality control.
Q: What benefits does glass lining provide over traditional metal coatings?
A: Glass lining delivers superior resistance to chemical attack, zero porosity, non-absorbent and smooth surfaces, excellent electrical insulation, and minimal maintenance compared to standard metal coatings, significantly extending equipment life.
Q: How is the quality of glass-lined equipment tested?
A: Quality assurance includes spark testing, porosity examination, thickness measurement, and visual inspection to verify adhesion, durability, and compliance with industry standards such as ASTM and DIN.
Q: Can the glass lining be customized for specific equipment sizes and shapes?
A: Yes, glass lining can be tailored to various cylindrical, spherical, or custom shapes with diameter options up to 3200 mm and glass thickness from 1.5 mm to 3.5 mm. Color and grade are also customizable based on operational needs.
