Chemical and water resistance list
Structural profiles
The chemical and water resistance list contains an overview of three Fiberline qualities placed in various chemical environments. The figures indicate the highest known operational temperatures in C°, under which the profiles have displayed good service life in the specific chemical environments. The results have been obtained either through experience from industrial use, or by means of laboratory tests (ASTM C581) carried out by Fiberline suppliers.
If the chemical influence is not permanent/concentrated, but short-term/weak (as from steam or waste) it is possible to use gratings, planks and structural supports in chemical environments which are indicated as NR (Not recommended), or in higher temperatures than indicated.
In contrast to metals, Fiberline structural profiles are not subject to electrolytic corrosion.
The results in this chemical and water resistance list are guidelines only, and therefore ought not to be considered as instructions for the chemical resistance of the various qualities of profile. Any combination of chemicals or combined environmental stress should be discussed with Fiberline or tested prior to commencing use.
All information contained in this list is supplied in good faith as guidelines for our customers, with no liability whatsoever for Fiberline.
Fiberline reserve the right to make changes without prior notice.
Please note that the chemical resistance values indicated are based on profiles with surface veils and sealing of all machined surfaces.
