Acid Resistant Materials
Acid-Resistant Materials for Industrial and Chemical Environments
Vitcas Acid-Resistant Materials are high-performance solutions engineered for use in environments exposed to corrosive acids and elevated temperatures. The Acidcas range is a two-part, silicate-based system offering exceptional resistance to most acids-both hot and cold-with the exception of hydrofluoric acid. These materials can withstand temperatures up to 1400°C (2550°F) and conform to BS 784, delivering a minimum 96% acid resistance.
The Acidcas product range is available in three formulations, each tailored to specific application requirements:
- Acidcas M - Acidproof Mortar: For jointing acid-resistant bricks and tiles
- Acidcas R - Acidproof Render: For applying a protective, acid-resistant layer over existing structures
- Acidcas C - Acid-Resistant Concrete: A monolithic material ideal for casting durable, acidproof components
These materials are designed for chemical processing environments where resistance to acid attack and thermal stress is critical.
Examples of Applications
Recommended for use in:
- Jointing and bedding of vitrified bricks and tiles in floors, benches, pipes, and channels
- Acid plants, tanks, vats, towers, and retorts
- Chimney linings, bonded brickwork, and installations in acid-laden soils
Note: Acidcas materials are not suitable for extended exposure to alkaline substances.
