Installation notes

  1. 1Joint with carbon-based / furan resin cement compatible with the chemical service
  2. 2Keep out of oxidising atmospheres above ~400°C to prevent carbon burn-off
  3. 3Use impervious (resin-impregnated) grade where low permeability to acids is required
  4. 4Behind-brick membrane recommended for acid-vessel linings
