Many industries place high demands on their plant, pipework and tank systems. A material is required that can withstand these conditions in the long term, such as corrosion resistance, chemically aggressive media and high temperatures, because a malfunction means production losses and high costs for the operator.

In addition to cost-intensive metal alloys, such as titanium or Hastelloy, a dual-laminate system with a thermoplastic inliner can be a cost-effective alternative. This is understood to mean the combination of thermoplastic material with GRP or steel reinforcement. The objective of the dual laminate system is to achieve chemical resistance through the appropriate selection of the thermoplastic material and static strength through the standard-specified GRP or steel casings, so that the system can withstand the demands of the operating system. The system is known to significantly extend the service life of plastics for applications, providing a reliable and economical alternative to expensive metal alloys. The corrosion-resistant inner layers are structurally reinforced with an outer layer of glass fibres, which allows for a relatively light but structurally very solid construction. The flexibility of the construction methods means that the plastics can be precisely moulded, which is ideal for customer-specific products, such as tanks or containers or piping systems.

Due to the many different requirements, dual-laminate systems can be made from a wide variety of thermoplastic materials to optimally fulfil the essential factors that play a role in the selection.
