Selection of materials

The properties associated with a certain material are of

key importance when it comes to deciding on which plastics

to use within the area of tank and apparatus building.

The following pages provide further information on the mate-

rials used by SIMONA.

B&A_gb_rz.indd 9 21.04.09 16:36

Material properties

Applications within the field of tank and apparatus building

are dependent on materials with particularly high perform-

ance characteristics. After all, the challenges posed by

chemicals, corrosion, temperature fluctuations and structural

stress are formidable.

With a comprehensive portfolio ranging from PE, PP and PVC

to PVDF and E-CTFE, SIMONA offers the perfect solution to

meet virtually any requirement.


B&A_gb_rz.indd 10 21.04.09 16:36


High-density polyethylene

(PE-HD)

Alongside its outstanding pro-

cessability, PE-HD displays

high chemical resistance and

offers strength and rigidity

within a temperature range of

between –50 °C and +80 °C.

Owing to different creep proper-

ties, SIMONA® high-density

poly ethylene materials are di-

vided into the three categories

PE-HD, PE 80 and PE 100.

High-molecular-weight

poly ethylene (PE- HMW)

PE-HMW combines high strength

with good rigidity, as well as

allowing efficient processing.

The temperature range is from

–100 °C to +80 °C. PE-HML

500 offers good chemical res-

istance and superior stress

crack re s istance in relation to

a wide range of media.

Polypropylene (PP -H/PP- C)

Compared to PE, polypropylene

offers increased stiffness, espe-

cially in the upper temperature

range (up to +100 °C). Among

its key characteristics are high

chemical resistance and favoura-

ble results in long-term testing

when exposed to many organic

and inorganic media, even at

high temperatures. PP-C can be

deployed in a temperature

range from –20 °C to +80 °C.

Polyvinylchloride (PVC- U)

PVC-U offers high strength and

stiffness. Its temperature range

is between 0 °C and +60 °C.

PVC-U also displays good resist-

ance when exposed to organic

and inorganic chemicals as well

as oxidising media.

Post-chlorinated polyvinyl-

chloride (PVC- C)

Owing to its increased chlorine

content, PVC-C offers outstand-

ing chemical resistance, particu-

larly to acids, alkalis and salts.

As a result, it is a perfect choice

for applications associated with

the chemical process industry.

The temperature range is from

–40 °C to +95 °C.

Polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF)

PVDF is a partially fluorinated

high-performance plastic that

can be deployed at temperatures

ranging from –30 °C to +140 °C;

it is resistant to the majority of

organic and inorganic media.

Ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene

(E -CTFE)

As a partially fluorinated high-

performance plastic, E-CTFE

offers a wide temperature range

from –40 °C to +150 °C. In

addition, E-CTFE displays an

extremely high level of chemical

resistance, which includes the

alkaline range.

SIMONA® Semi-finished plastics for linings and composite construction

SIMONA offers a wide range of materials specially designed

for linings used in steel and concrete containers as well

as for thermoplastic and GRP composite engineering. While

PVC can be directly bonded with reaction resins, fabric

backings are required to create a firm bond for polyolefins

(PE, PP) and fluorinated plastics (PVDF, E-CTFE).

Traction-adhesive strength

Average values in MPa

(from internal quality control)

(Palatal A 410 = unsaturated poly-ester resin)

Result: The values measured in

the case of SIMONA® materials

are superior to those required by

DIN. Therefore, the operational

safety reserves associated with

these materials are considerably

higher.

Shear test

in accordance with BS 4994

(British Standard) based on

DIN 65148

For the dimensioning and design

of vessels and tanks in rein-

forced plastic, a minimum bond

strength of 7.0 MPa is specified

for liner construction at an ambi-

ent temperature of 23 °C.

Shear strength

Average values in MPa

(from internal quality control)

(Palatal A 410 = unsaturated poly-ester resin)

Result: SIMONA® materials

achieve excellent values, guaran-

teeing outstanding bond strength

of the liner construction.

Temperature range

The fabric backings on SIMONA®

materials bond firmly to the base

material, even at higher tempera-

tures. The following upper oper-

ating temperatures can be speci-

fied, irrespective of the resin

system used:

� PE-HWU-SK 60 °C

� PP-C-PK/PP-DWU-SK

AlphaPlus® 85 °C

� PVC-CAW/PVC-MZ 60 °C

� PVDF-SK 80 °C

� PVDF-GK/E-CTFE-GK 100 °C

Adhesion-promoting systems

SIMONA supplies sheets with

three different adhesion-promot-

ing systems:

� SK – Thermoplastic polyester

backings

� GK – Glass-fibre backings

� PK – Polymer backings

These fabric backings form

an optimal mechanical bridge

between the lining and the base

material requiring protection

against corrosion. The following

test procedures provide informa-

tion on the quality of the bond.

Traction-adhesive strength test

based on DIN 53766-1

The minimum bond strength

between the lining material

and the supporting laminate is

generally defined by the client’s

company standards. The follow-

ing guide values are assumed

for the minimum bond strengths

in the traction-adhesive strength

test (at an ambient temperature

of 23 °C):

� PVC/GF-UP 7 MPa

� PVDF/GF-UP 5 MPa

� PP/GF-UP 3.5 MPa

� PE/GF-UP 3.5 MPa

On June 1, 2007, the European chemicalslaw which had applied up to that date was replaced by the socalled REACh Regulation (EU Regula tion 1907/2006/EC). REACh stands for Registration, Evaluation, Author-isation and Restriction of Chemicals.

One of the rules specified by the REACh Regulation is that all substances (chemicals and preparations) which are manufactured in the EU or are imported to the EU have to be preregis-tered and registered with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). The REACh Regulation applies to chemicals andpreparations. Polymers are explicitly ex-cluded from registration and evaluation (as per Article 2 Para. 9).

The SIMONA® range of products comprises semifinished parts, pipes and fittings which are made solely of polymer materials. Therefore, they are not subject to the REACh Regulation. As a plastics processing com-pany, we cannot have our products registered, nor are we obliged to.

Within the scope of the supply chain described by REACh, plastics processing companies are socalled “downstream users”. One of our obligations as down-stream users is to verify the fact that our own suppliers handle the raw materials delivered to us in a REACh-compliant man-ner. We met our obligations within this area during the pre-registration phase from

1.6. - 30.11.2008. If the availability of indi-vidual raw materials is limited by REACh in future, we will switch to REACh-compliant alternatives.

In addition, we are obliged to disclose infor-mation about the constituents of our prod-ucts: we confirm that our products do not contain any substances in concentrations of > 0.1% (w/w) which are on the candidate list (Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern, SVHC) issued by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).

As downstream users, we are enjoined to inform our suppliers how the raw materi-als delivered to us are used (in our case: manufacture of semi-finished plastics, pipes, fittings and finished products by means of extrusion, pressing and injection moulding) so that the use becomes a so-called “identi-fied use”. In order to improve the exchange of information along the supply chain, it is advantageous to also receive information about how our customers subject our prod-ucts to further processing. Please feel free to pass this information on to us by contacting us at [email protected].

SIMCHEM 6.0 – Chemical

resistance data on CD-ROM

SIMCHEM 6.0 is a reliable and

comprehensive guide when it

comes to determining the chem-

ical resistance of materials

used in our products.

It lists more than 3,000 media

and proprietary products.

Additionally, SIMCHEM provides

extensive information about

our products and materials, as

well as outlining SIMONA’s

business activities.An extensive database on the chemical resistance of SIMONA® materials, featuring more than 3,000 listed substances.

The sixth edition of SIMCHEM has

been fully reviewed and is an

important guide for your day-to-day

operations. Please be advised

that all data presented in this ver-

sion reflects our scope of

knowledge at the point of publi-

cation. The latest version of

SIMCHEM is based on findings

from immersion testing as

part of which test specimens were

subjected to different tempe-

ratures in the medium in question,

free from external stresses.

The data derived from testing is

complemented by case study

reports, recommendations by raw

material manufacturers as well

as extensive data relating to

standards, directives and guide-

lines.
