Recent developments in the use of corrosion resistant plastics

Plastic Constructions are the UK's leading stockists and fabricators of corrosion resistant plastics providing industry with a wide range of pollution control equipment, process plant, general fabrications and special projects. Despite today's recessionary economic climate the company has over the past twelve months seen the introduction of many new products and applications, which illustrate a variety of developments in the use of engineering plastics to resist corrosion in the following fields (a) fluids handling, (b) effluent and water treatment, (c) ventilation and air conditioning, (d) air pollution control and (e) process plant and special projects. Of particular interest is the continuing expansion of glass fibre reinforced plastics (GRP) into markets where previously only conventional materials of construction have been considered. Major innovations in these areas and the increased use of GRP are discussed below.
