KERA® is a phenolic resin-based thermoset which provides customized shaping options for tanks, process equipment and piping. Reinforced with glass and/or carbon fibers and special fillers, this material provides outstanding stability to non-oxidizing acids and numerous solvents.
KERA® thermoset is the right material for any process equipment – no matter whether it is used to decompose hydrogen chloride gas into its chemical constituents (the electrolyzer thus acting as a 100 % recycling system), to concentrate phosphoric acid into white phosphoric acid, or to spin rayon lining or tire cord fabric in hot acid. After over 50 years‘ experience with this high-performance thermoset, it can justifiably be called the most effective material ever used in chemical plants.

KERA® SP 20
With its specially pre-treated glass fibre and carbon fibre reinforced phenolic resin material, KERA® SP 20 is especially resistant to non-oxidising acids and many solvents. In addition, it is also suitable for environments subject to highly fluctuating mechanical and thermal stresses.
KERA® SP 21
Featuring carbon fibre reinforcement of phenolic resin material with good antistatic properties, KERA® SP 21 is particularly suitable for use with with highly flammable substances and hydrogen fluoride-containing media.
KERA® SP 30
Its phenolic resin material with specially treated glass fibre reinforcement gives KERA® SP 30 excellent resistance to non-oxidising acids and many solvents.
KERA® FU 23
Material based on furan resin, reinforced with carbon fibre for alkaline conditions.
