Corrosion costs our industrial industries billions of dollars every year. Facilities focus on metallic solutions such as alloys, protective coatings, and corrosion prevention techniques to combat the issues. However, thermoplastics continue to grow as a sound engineering solution in many corrosive environments such as offshore, downstream processing, Chlor-alkali, mineral processing, semiconductor, metal pickling, pulp and paper, and many other emerging markets. Thermoplastics are inherently resistant to corrosion, and technology continues to create more robust, longer-lasting, more sustainable technologies. AMPP brings our members together to advance technical and practical corrosion prevention and control expertise. This paper will provide a comprehensive overview of several thermoplastic solutions, construction standards, and how they are addressed in the ASME B31.3 standards. The paper will help the reader understand the physical characteristics, polymer chemistry, and typical application range for several thermoplastics using industry standards such as ASME B31.3, ASME RTP-1, ASTM standards, and AWS. Thermoplastics may not be applicable in every application, but many support environments can take advantage of the increased service life, corrosion resistance, and lightweight thermoplastic materials. The paper will set the stage for our members to see applications where they can solve their corrosion issues like Potable/DI/RO water, sodium hypochlorite, sodium hydroxide, brine, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, sodium chloride, chlorine dioxide, nitric acid, and hydrochloric acid. Proper material selection and methodology combined with sound fabrication and installation techniques will be addressed to help our members find qualified support for their facilities. The industry needs thermoplastic guidance to build confidence. Our engineers, such as I (a chemical engineer), must be better trained in the accredited education system on thermoplastics, polymer science, or material selection techniques. True to the purpose of AMPP, this paper is built on the premise of providing AMPP members with the knowledge and resources to ensure high-performance materials are used to develop and maintain sustainable infrastructure.
