DD 3009 GLASS
Glass-lined steel is mandatory when
service conditions of the process are
particularly difficult. With the DD 3009
glass, De Dietrich® offers an excellent resistance to corrosion, abrasion,
mechanical and thermal shocks.
To increase productivity or to succeed
in new syntheses, the chemical industry continually extends the limits of its
processes: higher temperatures, lower
temperatures, higher pressures, higher
concentrations. This trend is possible
only if at the same time the chemical
and mechanical resistances of the
glass that protects vessels, tanks and
parts follow these requirements.
This is the reason why De Dietrich® has
always invested in research and development of new glass formulas with
greater capabilities. The result of our
ongoing research enabled us to offer
the DD 3009 glass. The formulation
of this multipurpose glass gives the
optimum properties of chemical resistance to acidic and alkaline mediums,
of mechanical resistance to shocks
and abrasion, of easy cleaning and
anti-adhesion.
Across the world, all De Dietrich®
plants apply the same quality of glass,
the production of which is centralized
in France. During the preparation
of each batch of DD 3009 glass,
numerous tests assure us a perfect
and reproducible quality, suppressing
any risk of production defect. Thanks
to su ch rig orous contr ol, we can
confidently state that, at De Dietrich®,
“Quality” is an everyday occurrence.
Monitoring R&D and production of
our own glass in for De Dietrich® an
emblem of quality, of competence, of
independence.

RESISTANCE TO ACIDS
Generally, DD 3009 glass has a high
degree of resistance to acids whatever
their concentration, up to relatively
high temperatures. For most of the
inorganic acids, the resistance of the
glass passes through a minimum for a
concentration of 20-30% weight, then
increases with the acid concentration.
For example, the 0.1 mm/year rate is
found at 128°C in H2SO4 30% and at
180°C in H2SO4 60%. Exceptionally,
in the case of phosphoric acid, the
speed of attack increases with the
concentration: 0.1 mm/year at 163°C
for 10% concentration and at 112°C for
70% concentration.
Hy dro flu ori c ac id c omp let ely and
quickly dissolves the glass whatever
the temperature is. Its concentration in
the product must not exceed 0.002%
(20 ppm).
RESISTANCE
TO ORGANIC SUBSTANCES
Chemical attack is very low in organic
substances. If water is given off during
the reaction, the rate of attack will
depend on the amount of water in the
solution. In the case of 0.1N sodium
hydroxide in anhydrous alcohol at

In methanol, there has to be more than
10% water before the loss of weight can
be measured, whereas in ethanol with
5% water, the weight loss is already half
of what it is in aqueous solution.
