The use of reinforced polyester resins as a material of construction in the chemical industry is relatively new and is one which warrants periodic review. This paper discusses some of the basic properties of polyesters which must be considered by designers and fabricators, and gives some examples of actual field installations. The use of reinforced polyester resins for alum evaporators, stacks, dryer trays, filter troughs, and filter press plates and frames are discussed in detail. This detailed information is given so that other end users may evaluate this material for their specific requirements. 6.6.8
