Duro-Bond PVDF is used as a vessel lining material where severe corrosion conditions are present. Typical applications include towers, scrubbers, process vessels and high purity acid and ultra pure water equipment.. In addition to providing high purity and corrosion resistance, Duro-Bond PVDF also resists the effects of abrasion and high temperatures. Because of its unique combination of properties, great strength, superior chemical, corrosion, and abrasion resistance, and a wide temperature range, Duro-Bond PVDF is frequently the most cost-effective material of choice for corrosion control and high purity in the chemical, semiconductor, transportation, pharmaceutical, metals, food, paper and electric power industries.

Duro-Bond PVDF is noted for its good resistance to organic and inorganic acids, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols and certain halogenated, e.g. chlorinated solvents. It is not attacked by the halogens except nascent chlorine.; PVDF is non-toxic and may be used according to the Food and Drug Administration for food packing and for food contact use.; Duro-Bond PVDF can be bonded to various substrates and can be installed by experienced technicians in the shop or in the field. Among its other outstanding characteristics are high natural mechanical strength, high dielectric strength, excellent abrasion and stain resistance, and good thermal stability at both reduced and elevated temperatures.

Duro-Bond PVDF sheet lining can be shop or field repaired. The repairs to defective or damaged areas in the sheet lining are accomplished by cutting out the faulty area, grinding or grit blasting the substrate surface, preparing a piece of sheet of the same dimension, cementing it into position and subsequently welding the joints as described under Application. The repaired area is then inspected and spark tested to insure lining integrity.
