Furan Polymer Concrete—Quaker Oats Chemicals

TABLE 3.6 FURAN POLYMER CONCRETE-QUAKER OATS CHEMICALS [Pg.383]

Furan polymer concrete is a strong, concrete-type material with outstanding corrosion resistance made by bonding size-graded aggregates with a furfuryl alcohol-based furan resin. [Pg.383]

Corrosion tests have been conducted on 1 inch x 2 inch furan polymer concrete test cylinders made with Quaker s QO FA-RoK resin/catalyst system by totally immersing them in several key media at 1 SOT for one year. Results of these tests indicate that furan polymer concrete should be suitable for use in environments that have been serviced for many years by furan mortars and furan FRP equipment. [Pg.383]

Furan polymer concrete is attacked by strong oxidizing agents, a few aggressive solvents and chemicals that attack silica. However, it may perform satisfactorily with some of these media where the service is a splash/spill wash down exposure or where materials such as very dilute sodium hypochlorite are used as cleaning agents. [Pg.383]

The following is a partial list of solvents and other corrosive chemicals typically handled by furans. [Pg.383]
