Experience with the use of DERAKANE vinyl ester‐based GRP in flue gas desulphurization plants

Abstract

Describes the growth in industrial usage of GRP (glass fibre reinforced plastic) to control corrosion and, in particular, the use of DERAKANE, a vinyl ester used in GRP. Gives examples of its use in Germany, the UK and the USA. Concludes that the experience with GRP based on epoxy vinyl ester resins applications is very positive and it has proved to be a very reliable alternative to more traditional materials.
