PLASTICS‐BASED STRIPPABLE COATINGS
E.S. Lower, S. CresseyThe growth of plastics as corrosion‐resistant coatings is a relatively recent one. Until the second World War their application in this field had hardly been initiated, but once…
Cellulose Acetate Butyrate's Role in Protection
T.L. RalphMany engineering materials are subject to corrosion by a variety of causes. In combating this, a host of protective substances have been tested with varying degrees of success and…
Rigid Vinyl Sheet for Corrosion‐Resistant Plant Construction
IN recent years there has been a marked development in the use of various types of rigid vinyl sheet for the construction of certain parts of plant which are normally exposed to…
GLASS‐REINFORCED PLASTICS MOULDING
A.C. WemyssThe advent of glass‐reinforced plastic moulding has been accompanied by most extravagant claims in the popular Press. Two types of claim are usually made, namely that fabrication…
Fans and Ducting in Rigid PVC
‘It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good,’ says the old adage, and a case in point is that of polyvinylchloride, a thermoplastic material with great corrosion resistance…
WOOD: Fabrication into a Uniform Material
In the past, wood has always been a material of interest to the chemical engineer because of its directional strength and non‐corroding properties, but in its natural state there…
CORROSION‐RESISTANT FLOORS: PART 1
V. EvansIndustrial flooring is of the greatest importance because practically all industrial processes and activities are carried out either on or over some kind of floor. This article is…
PEOPLE
Metal Corrosion in Buildings The Corrosion Group and the Road and Building Materials Group of the Society of Chemical Industry are jointly arranging a symposium on corrosion of…
PLASTIC CONDUITS IN ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS
T.C. GilbertThe electrical engineer using metal conduits is faced with a dual menace from corrosion—external and internal. With steel conduits especially, dampness, corrosive atmospheres, or…
PLASTICS PRODUCTS AND PROCESSES: PROVIDING INDUSTRY WITH THE MEANS TO COMBAT CORROSION
Injection Moulding Machine. A new injection moulding machine has recently been produced. This machine has fully automatic operation, so that one operator can control a battery of…
CORROSION RESEARCH ROUND‐UP
GERMANY Chemical Reactions of Tin. The behaviour of tin and tin plate under atmospheric conditions, and the problem of corrosion of the exterior of tin cans, are discussed. An…
THE CHEMICAL INSPECTORATE. 100 Years of Analytical Chemistry
IN 1854 the Chemical Inspectorate, one of the oldest Government scientific establishments, was formed as a small unit of the War Office. Today it is an important organisation…
PROTECTIVE PAINTS FOR AIRSCREWS
THE use of epoxy resin/glass fibre‐reinforced plastics for airscrew spinners, blade root fairings and other components has been developed extensively by De Havilland Propellers…
