Low absorption rates are essential to ensure dangerous chemicals do not penetrate the ceramic lining systems. Acid bricks are available in a multitude of special shapes to ensure complex and sometimes very large shapes can be lined in a manner maximising chemical and abrasion resistance.

Acid tiles are commonly much thicker then conventional tiles. Typical acid tiles are 20 – 25 mm thick whereas most commercial floor tiles are 5 – 8 mm thick only. This additional thickness contributes to high strength, highly chemical resistant ceramic lining capability.

Metz manufactures a range of corrosion resistant fixing materials to complement these acid resistant ceramics. This means a complete acid proof lining system from a single source is possible for our clients.
