DuPont to host anti-corrosion seminar
High-purity chemicals and solvents are manufactured using equipment that resists corrosion and leaching which can introduce contaminates. Process vessels, tubing, valves and pumps or storage containers made of steel or reinforced plastic can all be lined with Teflon PFA HP or Teflon PTFE to extend service life and reduce maintenance, while protecting product purity.
DuPont is hosting a free seminar at Achema entitled ‘Materials Technology – Managing Corrosion with Teflon’. Covering applications across the process industry, the seminar will introduce the range of Teflon products, including resins, coatings and films, available for high-purity chemical manufacturing. Kalrez perfluoroelastomer parts from DuPont Performance Elastomers, commonly used for seals in harsh chemical environments, also form part of the agenda.
The seminar will be held on Wednesday 17 May, from 13.30 until 18.00 in room Fantasie 2 at the Frankfurt Congress Centre. Visitors interested in attending should pre-register by the end of April via Martin.Brueck@deu.dupont.com.
The DuPont Fluoropolymer Solutions stand will feature new developments in Teflon expanded PTFE gasketing materials as well as solutions for food and medical machinery. A separate exhibit, arranged by DuPont Performance Elastomers will highlight Kalrez perfluoroelastomer parts – a product line designed to perform in aggressive process environments.
Viton fluoroelastomer used for seals and hoses, O-rings, shaft seals, expansion joints and gaskets, will also be featured.
