According to an independent survey of wastewater engineers, municipal managers and contractors, a chemical-resistant lining’s permeability to corrosive substances was shown to be the most important consideration during product selection. Survey sponsor, Sauereisen, has published a summary of findings. The most prominent statistics: Approximately 70 percent of respondents said permeability to corrosive substances is the most critical factor for chemically resistant linings and more than 64 percent said permeability is the most commonly overlooked aspect of corrosion-resistant lining selection.
