The Polymer R&D Group at Swerea KIMAB AB (former Swedish Corrosion Institute) has more than 30 years of experience of the use of polymeric materials in process equipment. The core of our work lies within our membership program "Corrosion Properties of Polymers" where we perform research on questions of special concern for successful and reliable use of plastics in the chemical industry. One of our focus areas is sulphuric acid services where we over the years have worked in close co-operation with material and equipment suppliers and end users and have made a number of failure investigations together with systematic studies in the laboratory. Despite all this work there are still a number of questions concerning the best choice of material and service life of polymers in sulphuric acid services. To tackle this we have together with end-users and suppliers of material and equipment put together a road map for the most important research activities. Our main focus areas have been identified as PVC materials, with a main focus on welding and welding rods, and fluoroplastics for high concentrations >93 wt% and FRP (fiber reinforced plastics) and rubber linings for the concentration range between 72 to 85 wt%.
