F-CHEM Piping SystemsWe call our fiberglass reinforced piping systems “time-tested” because they have been proving theirdurability and value in harsh environments and unforgiving applications for decades.When selecting a fiberglass pipingsystem, operating temperature andchemical resistance usually dictate theappropriate resin system.· Epoxyresins perform best in thepresence of caustics, solvents, brines,petroleum products, and certain acids· Vinyl ester resin systems provideoutstanding performance in acid,chlorine, oxidizing-agent applications· Isophthalic (or polyester) resins offer acost-effective option for lowertemperature, less aggressiveapplicationsCondenser water return linesat a large power plant· Premium and fire retardant resins areavailable for specialty applications· Corrosion barriers range from 20 mil to250 mil60-inch diameter lines for cooling,recirculating water &condensed geothermal steam14 - 36-inch odor control ductfor Trinity River Authority,Grand Prairie, TX3
