Almost any synthetic resin in liquid form or which can be dissolved in a common solvent is a basis for a corrosion resistant cement mortar. Broad application of the resins in brick and tile linings depends upon such factors as attainable physical properties, chemical resistance, and adaptability for easy handling.
Physical properties and corrosion resistance to various chemicals are listed for furan, phenolic, polyester and epoxy resin cements. Corrosives in which these resins were tested include 13 acids, 5 alkalies, 4 gases, 3 oils, 7 oxidizing agents, 13 salts and 9 solvents. Physical and mechanical properties listed include weight, porosity, tensile strength, compressive strength, flexural strength, modulus of rupture and coefficient of thermal expansion. The use and preparation of these cements also is discussed.
Miscellaneous corrosion resistant cements discussed briefly include those made from asphaltic and bituminous materials, sulfur cements, and silicate cements. 5.4.3
