Structure features of vinyl ester polymer concrete cells

The vinylester polymer concrete cells is a new type of environmentally friendly equipment for nonferrous hydrometallurgy. It has the characteristics of no leakage, corrosion resistance, long life, high electrolysis efficiency, and high quality electrolysis products.

Many customers don’t clear about the structure of this product and why it has such good features. Let’s look at the below picture for detail.

Typical Structure features of Polymer Concrete cells

Vinylester resin monolithic electrolytic cell has a special “sandwich” structure.

They are the chemical barrier, the Intermediate layer and Outside FRP layer.

① Chemical barrier for electrolyte

② Intermediate layer: Vinylester resin mixed with aggregates constituted the core filled structure.

③ Outside FRP layer.

The polymer concrete structural core structural layer and both FRP seals are manufactured to ensure a high quality chemical bond between the three layers, forming a cohesive, monolithic composite material with very high chemical and mechanical strength. The formulation and properties of this composite material have been tailored for best performance electrolytic cells.

The chemical barier meet FRP tank chemical barrier domestic and international specification, these guidelines have been proven in more than 40 years of successful experience in the industry.

Such seals are typically composed by 3 layers fiber glass soaked with vinyl ester resin. Outside FRP layer production is same. The two sealing layers may be tested in accordance with relative specification. outside sealing layer as an option, you can add white or gray, the refinery can choose the color according to their preferences.

Vinyl resin cell has good mechanical strength, comparing with the conventional electrolytic cell, its formulation reduces the thermal expansion, in particular, reduces the internal stress of the electrolytic cell, and a very important point is after careful study of the experts in the materials science and structural analysis, using a completely different modulus of elasticity in the composite material literature, to ensure the best in anti-bending strength of the cells.
