Firwin chemical spray shields are custom manufactured to provide spray and leak containment from accidental gasket rupture in piping systems conveying corrosive fluids, or fluids under high pressure.

• LFP™ chemical spray shields, our new technology fabric is translucent, has exceptional tear strength, is considered chemically inert, and is reusable.

Using a non-porous, all-PTFE material, LFP™ Chemical Spray Shields guarantee performance against harmful spray out and leakage regardless of the severity and duration of chemical exposure.

Many materials used for spray shields, like PTFE coated fiberglass, can be weakened by challenging industrial environments and often require monitoring. With an LFP Chemical Spray Shield, the body and drawstrings are all made of 100% PTFE. This ensures that worker safety will not be jeopardized by degraded materials in a spray shield in the event of a spray out at a flange. Since the LFP Chemical Spray Shield will be unaffected by even the most corrosive chemical environments, chemical compatibility tables do not need to be referenced.

The translucent material used in an LFP Chemical Spray Shield allows safe and easy detection of moisture leakage at the flange. If leakage does occur at the flange, the spray shield can be cleaned and reused without concern for weakening due to chemical attack.

LFP Chemical Spray Shields can be used in a pH range of 1-14 and a temperature range of -100ºF (-73ºC) to 550ºF (288ºC). The versatility and cost-effectiveness of this type of spray shield allows it to be used in almost all industrial settings such as marine, offshore, pharmaceutical, chemical processing, FDA approved, cryogenic, and clean room applications.

LFP is the winner of the 1995 Dupont Plunkett Award and Chemical Processing’s Vaaler award. LFP has been specified by the U.S. Navy as a flexible chemical liner for the next generation of nuclear submarines.
