Saint-Gobain Introduces PTFE-based Multipurpose Hose for Transferring Corrosive Chemicals

-
Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics (SGPPL) has introduced a high-performance solution for transferring bulk corrosive chemicals. A superior flexible and kink-resistant hose, Chemfluor® Convoflex™ WCSR Multipurpose Chemical Transfer Hose is designed to solve the issue in bulk chemical transfer process where corrosive chemicals such as acids may damage the stainless steel braid commonly used as a cover on transfer hoses. Saint-Gobain's solution provides a longer service life while enhancing plant and worker safety.


Chemfluor® Convoflex™ WCSR is the newest addition to Saint-Gobain's growing portfolio of versatile critical connections solutions for chemical applications. These solutions are engineered to maintain safety during chemical processes, while reducing total systems cost.
From solvents to bulk chemical transfer, Chemfluor® Convoflex™ WCSR can withstand highly aggressive chemicals during chemical processing. Its highly engineered low profile helical convoluted inner core design provides superior flexibility while maintaining the productivity of plant operations by preventing kinking, a common cause of downtime for such demanding applications.
Chemfluor® Convoflex™ WCSR is constructed with a chemically- resistant, high-purity Chemfluor® PTFE inner core, and is reinforced with 304 high tensile strength stainless steel braids and an acid-resistant Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) outer-cover. Extremely hard-wearing and durable, the vulcanized EPDM outer cover protects the integrity of the hose when acid or other corrosive chemicals are accidentally exposed to the outer surface.
"We are pleased to introduce this new product to our critical connections solutions portfolio, which is aimed at connecting our customers' processes, operations, and products to what matters to them most: safety, performance, and brand assurance," says Lily Lei, Global Market Leader, Chemicals, Process Systems division at Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share Ever wondered how we can reduce plastic pollution in India? The Mysuru-based Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL), affiliated with the DRDO, has launched an eco-friendly remedy with the introduction of biodegradable water bottles. Crafted from sustainable Polylactic acid (PLA) material, these bottles not only combat plastic waste but also contribute to reducing the overall carbon footprint. The best thing about this bottle is its all-encompassing sustainability approach – the bottle, cap, and label are all compostable. This innovation, derived from 100% bio-based and renewable sources, sets us on a path towards environmental conservation and fosters a greener and more sustainable future.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share:High and low shear rate changes in Rheology

-

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share If a relatively high Mw grade flows from thin to thick, as shown in the picture, and if the time needed to fill the thick section is way shorter than the average polymer relaxation time, the polymer will not be able to reach its higher viscosity (corresponding to higher thickness/lower shear-rate). I am assuming here the polymer reached equilibrium low viscosity in the thin section, say for instance because it is much longer. Any pressure prediction not accounting for transient rheology would then overpredict the pressure to fill.Of course the diverging flow will further complicate the situation and mess with the molecular orientation created in the thin section, but to what extent ? Since this is more of a reasonable "conjecture", don't take this for granted, and discuss or share your opinion in the comments. There are hundreds of Rheology papers on the "4:1 contraction flow". Not sure I have ever seen any on the..."1:4 expansio
