Chlorine dioxide is used in large quantities by pulp mills as a substitute for chlorine and sodium hypochlorite in bleaching processes in order to reduce chlorinated organic matter in effluent streams. Although offering many advantages, chlorine dioxide is corrosive to many affordable materials of construction.

An evaluation of corrosion resistant FRP composites has been and is being conducted in actual chlorine dioxide applications. The FRP composites' resistance to attack and the evaluation methods are described.
