Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| Named chemical processing applications (PP ductwork) | Chemical fume extraction and laboratory hood exhaust explicitly listed as ductwork applications | Houston PolyTank — Website (Applications, Industries, Accessories) |
| PP duct chemical/temperature rating | 180°F chemical rating for polypropylene ductwork in acid-vapor/fume service | Houston PolyTank — Website (Applications, Industries, Accessories) |
| FRP duct diameter range | 2" – 168" round (rectangular sized to project) | Perry Fiberglass Products |
| Reference lab exhaust example | Gray pyramidal FRP fume hood with round duct collar fabricated for a laboratory application | Perry Fiberglass Products |
Houston PolyTank's ductwork applications list independently confirms the rule that polypropylene, not metal, is the correct ducting material for chemical fume extraction and lab hood exhaust in acid-vapor service.
Metal ductwork in acid-fume service corrodes — Houston PolyTank's own applications list (chemical fume extraction, laboratory hood exhaust, PP rated to 180°F) independently confirms the same rule Liberty CES's own HCl case study established: polypropylene, not metal, is what the application requires in acid-vapor duct runs.
