Welcome

The "Dual Laminate Fabrication Association" site. "DLFA" was  formed to promote the use of Dual Laminate structures composed of a thermoplastic liner over-wrapped with fiber glass reinforcement.

These structures have found uses in handling various types of corrosive liquids and gases as well as hi-purity liquids.  Tanks, pipe, fittings, fume scrubbers and various other chemical vessels are made in this manner and provide a cost effective answer to the problems addressed.

"DLFA"  has worked to bring to design engineers, accustomed to working with metallic structures, information and standards that make it easier to determine when Dual Laminate structures are the best solution. The Navigation Buttons shown in the left margin are:

 Dual Laminate Overview - narrative description of dual laminate tanks and piping for corrosion resistance.

Corrosion Guide - comprehensive charts of the chemical resistance of commonly used thermoplastic materials for about 350 chemicals.

Technical Papers - reference list of papers on Dual Laminate tanks, scrubbers, piping and assembly..

ASME RTP-1 Specifications - Introduction to the ASME RTP-1. Specifications for "Reinforced Thermoset Plastic Corrosion Resistant Equipment"

Members - listing of members and their capabilities.

Links to Web Sites - members and associated companies.

Membership Form - Form for submittal of a  membership application.

DLFA Contacts- Officer names and e-mail addresses.

This web site has been  established to provide a central clearing house for the above information. The initial site includes the complete interactive chemical resistance chart, a list of association members and reference to standards and available technical papers.
