Sheet membrane system

The Pyroflex sheet membrane system for vessels in corrosive chemical processing and mining facility construction is a manufactured, fiber-reinforced composite membrane system that remains permanently plastic. The system is an alternative to traditional asphaltic and fiber-reinforced resin linings, which can become porous and cracked. Pyroflex does not experience thermal decomposition under 500 F, resists inorganic alkalines such as caustic soda and salts and is not affected by reducing agents. Pyroflex sheets fuse directly to metal and concrete surfaces without requiring special adhesives. Adjacent sheets are butted and fused together with joint strips for a continuous, uniform lining with no lap joints. Sections can be repaired without compromising the structure of the entire lining. A special heating process mates the new section to the lining around it, creating a seamless patch.
