THE GLOBAL LEADER FORCORROSIVE FUME EXHAUST DUCTAND VENT PIPE

Fab-Tech's PermaShield Pipe® ( PSP ) is recognized around the

world as the best product forremoval of corrosive and highlyhazardous fumes. Founded inengineering, manufacturing andcustomer service expertise,Fab-Tech established a new levelof standards for cost effective,reliable, and most importantly,safe corrosive fume exhaust ductand vent pipe.

® PSP with a "0" flame spreadrating, does not burn, generatesmoke or melt.

®PSP 's fully engineered systemof stainless steel duct/pipe andaccessories with its durable andhighly chemical resistant coatingprovides decades of worry freefume exhaust service.

®PSP is available in a wide rangeof standard fittings from as smallas 2" ( 50mm ) diameter up to arobust 120" ( 3,045mm ) diameter.With more accessories to get thejob done than any other ductmanufacturer and the ability toform round, rectangular, or ovalduct, Fab-Tech can meet any ofyour corrosive fume exhaustrequirements.

What does that mean for you, yourfacility or your laboratory?

PermaShield Pipe contributes to theoverall safety of the facility as well asthe safety of the men and womenresponsible for day to day operations bypreventing fugitive fume contamination,fluid leakage, or catastrophic loss of lifeand facilities in the event of a fire.

True "Class 1" Duct Your local building®and fire code officials will be satisfied with PSP

® as a true "Class 1" product. PSP complies withNFPA 820* established by the Uniform BuildingCode which is accepted by federal, state and localauthorities. This product does not burn as certifiedin ASTM E-84 tests with "0" flame spread and asmoke generation index of less than "20". These

®tests were performed as part of PSP 's FactoryMutual FM 4922 approval with various joiningsystems and unlimited vertical height. PermaShieldFluoropolymer Barrier Coating is FM 4922 approvedfor up to 16 mils although our recommendation isthat 10 mils is more than adequate for any serviceconditions ever encountered. Installations using

®Fab-Tech's "Class 1" PSP duct can greatly reduceannual fire and business interruption insurancecosts.

*NFPA 820 is the Standard for Fire Protection in Wastewater Treatment and Collection Facilities.

If corrosive fumes and firesafety are a concern...

®select PSP for peace of mind!

Estimated $1 million USD cost of firedamage to this waste water treatmentplant ( FRP duct system ).

Building loss in excess of $400 million USD, exclusive of productionand downstream interdependency losses. A contributing factor tothe spread of the fire was the use of plastic exhaust duct.

Environmentally Safe PermaShield Pipehas a desireable half life. Fittings can be used andreused before the end of the product's life. Unlikeplastic products which over time absorb thechemicals they were exposed to, Fab-Tech'sPermaShield coating is inert and will not absorbwater or chemicals. At life cycle end the stainlesssteel can be recycled for scrap value and thesignificant cost associated with hazardous waste

®disposal is eliminated with PSP .

® PSP is easy to install - no flames or chemicalsrequired for installation. It also does not requiregrinding or sanding which reduces exposure toindoor airborne contaminates for occupants andconstruction workers.

PermaShield Pipe, when applied in conjunctionwith or as part of a greater system, may be eligiblefor points towards LEED certification in variouscategories. Request our flyer outlining potential

®LEED points for the use and installation of PSP .For specific certification information on the web,visit www.USGBC.org and consult your architect orlocal LEED representative.

Don't let this happento your facility!

®Installation labor savings Fab-Tech's PSPduct is easy to install - saving you valuable time andmoney while creating a safer work environment.With efficient all mechanical fasteners and easy touse PTFE gaskets, keep your projects on or aheadof schedule resulting in reduced project and laborcosts. PermaShield Pipes' bolt together Van StoneFlange joining system provides a 50% reduction ininstallation labor when compared to fiberglassreinforced plastic ( FRP ). An additional 40% laborsavings are realized when the EZ joining system isused.

PermaShield Pipe is the world'sundisputed first choice to preventexpensive unscheduled shutdown ofyour manufacturing equipment due tochemical attack.

Cost Effective

Reusable A retired system can be as easilydisassembled and stored for reuse if desired.Or the stainless steel can be sold for scrap value.Long term, the economic effects of chemicalleaching and subsequent hazardous wastedisposal issues associated with other systemsare eliminated.

Easily Field Modified It doesn't get mucheasier when duct smaller then 30" ( 759mm ) with20ga material can be cut to length on site. Branchlines can be added with innovative saddle-tapfittings. And ports for drain lines, tool hook-up andsystem measurement can be easily installedin the field.

Eliminate Temporary Structures The costof building temporary containment due to airbornecontaminate ( a clean environment with temperatureor weather control necessary when installing FRP )

®is eliminated as PSP installs cleanly with nowelding, grinding, sanding or chemicals forassembly and installation.

Easy to install, easy to maintain, easy on the bottom line!

Reduces Fire Protection Costs Installing®PSP will potentially reduce the fire load in your

facility to the point where the numbers of firesprinklers are reduced. Fire protection sprinklersand the labor to install them inside combustible( plastic ) duct for facilities requiring "Class 1" ductare eliminated. In addition, the labor and materialsto install an oversized grey water collection system( necessary to process contaminated waterdischarged into the exhaust duct by the fireprotection system ) are greatly reduced.

With 20 years of duct manufacturing experience, we know what works!

Service, Service, Service

The PermaShield barrier coating has betterpermeation resistance than any other fluoropolymercoating on the market today. Independent testing

®results show PSP has a 3 times greater permeationresistance than the next best coating found in themarketplace ( see Atlas Cell Test graph ). Theelasticity and bond to the substrate enables smallerdiameter duct to be cut to length in the field and anew flange to be turned. This provides the contractorwith the flexibility needed during installation fromunexpected changes to tool location.

Barrier Coating Fab-Tech's PermaShieldFluoropolymer Barrier Coating is so much morethan the typical powder coating. Applied using anelectrostatic resin, the coating is integrally bondedto the substrate. This process allows the coatingto be applied to virtually any fitting, regardless ofsize or configuration. PermaShield FluoropolymerBarrier Coating exhibits many beneficial attributesfor years of worry-free service.

With nearly two decades of provenservice transporting highly corrosive

® chemicals, PSP is ideal for the safe andreliable removal of hazardous exhaustfumes. Facility system engineers sleep

®well knowing PSP prevents unscheduledshutdown of their manufacturing lines.

Corrosion Resistant The PermaShield®

Fluoropolymer Barrier Coating applied to PSPproducts is the premier chemical and impactresistant coating for an under 300°F application

®available today. The PSP product line has neverhad a reported failure due to chemical attack of thecoating. Chemical compatibility data is availablefrom Fab-Tech for over 300 chemicals. Thisextensive chemical resistance chart providesinformation on numerous chemicals with theirconcentrations and maximum recommended usetemperature. Many of the chemicals and solventsthat are easily contained by PermaShieldFluoropolymer Barrier Coating can cause rapiddeterioration of other plastics and all but the mostexotic metal alloys.

Reliable

Field proven so there are no surprises!

Liquid Tight System The combination offluoropolymer coated stainless steel and PTFE jointsealant technology constitutes a liquid tight systemvirtually unaffected by a wide range of industrialchemicals.

Structurally Secure In the event of fire, the®stainless steel substrate of PSP components will

not burn or collapse. Nor will they generate largequantities of smoke, thereby protecting valuabletooling and adjacent production areas. Durableyet light weight stainless steel means economicbenefits from life-cycle savings and reducedinsurance costs.

Control Devices Fab-Tech offers a wide rangeof dampers and blastgates for your exhaust fume

®applications. All PSP dampers utilize quality steelconstruction and have been specifically designedas coated devices to provide maximum corrosionresistance. Dampers are also available as AMCAClass 1A rated devices to assure end users thatthey will function as specified.
