Acid Resistant Plastic Sheet Material
Acid Resistant Plastic Sheet Material
(OP)
Hello, first time user here.
I am currently designing a Sulphuric Acid Tank (98%), which is located inside an Acid Plant building. In case of a pinhole leak, which could squirt over the containment wall and hit an operator, I need to provide a "splash guard". I have envisioned a plastic curtain hanging from the top of tank, but do not know which type of plastic to apply. The concept would be similar to the curtain you see for walk-in refrigerators, with multiple overlapping strips of plastic. It will need to be able to resist the acid, withstand a max temperature of 200 F, and (of course) I am looking for the most cost effective solution.
If you have any suggestions, or know of a good supplier to contact, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

PVC is good for sulphuric acid.
Your problem will be a clear flexible plastic that can withstand 200F.
