Durability chemical fluids

These results have suggested that mineral dusts that are inert in a particulate form may have biological activity when they occur in a fibrous form. Factors affecting fiber toxicity include length, diameter, respirability resistance to chemical dissolution in biological fluids, and durability. "... 

Along these same lines, further work would be helpful in defining other fiber characteristics that are important determinants of carcinogenicity. It is suspected, for example, that amphiboles, such as crocidolite and tremolite asbestos, are more likely to cause mesothelioma than chrysotile, but it is not certain if this is attributable to differences in fiber length alone or to differences in chemical properties (e g., fiber morphometry, iron content, durability in biological fluids and tissues). Consequently, additional animal studies of the relative carcinogenic potency of airborne asbestos fibers of different types (e.g., chrysotile versus amphibole asbestos), carefully matched with regard to fiber size distribution, may be valuable.

The durability of SPC structures in aggressive environments depends on the diffusion rate of chemically active reagents into a material. Fluid penetration is realized through imperfections in molecular packing of the binder and it is accelerated at an increase of temperature and pressure. In this connection, definition of a diffusion coefficient (as a key parameter of a liquid carryover) becomes the important problem. 

In the chemical processing industry, for example, fluoropolymers are selected for their resistance to chemical attack. They serve as linings for carbon steel vessels, and for piping and other fluid handling components. They provide durable, low maintenance, and economical alternatives to exotic metal alloys. In these applications, fluoropolymers also offer thermal stability for use at high temperatures. And because they do not react with process streams, they help prevent contamination of products. 

Another concern underlying some of the newer products has been to minimise the loss of stabiliser (and hence loss of durability under outdoor conditions), whether caused by extraction by solvents in pipes carrying fluids, or by chemical decomposition or volatility. One new Cytec UV light absorber, Cyasorb THT, combines a HALS additive with triazine chemistry. The combination was tried partly to reduce loss of additive by migration, but it was foimd to maintain the strength of polyethylene for more than twice as long as some of its competitors. 

Care should be taken over any extreme environmental demands imposed by the fluids within the pipes. Contrary to popular belief, corrosive fluids excepted, water is much more damaging than many industrial chemicals the commonly met hydrocarbons cause little if any difficulty. Generally probably only the strongest and most durable of the anaerobics and single-part epoxies are worth consideration in these applications. Durability will be extended by incorporating the following features in the design ...
