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