Abstract
The environmental behavior of glass-lined carbon steel in hydrobromic acid environments in the presence of fluoropolymers was studied by corrosion tests. It was found that the glass lining is susceptible to environmental degradation when exposed to HBr acid in the presence of fluoropolymers. The most aggressive environment was distilled HBr with PVDF. Auger electron spectroscopy revealed the presence of 0.5 at% fluor in the silicon-rich sediments, observed in all the environments at the end of the experiments. It is suggested that the fluor which attacks the glass lining was evolved by the decomposition of fluoropolymers.
