Thus the risks of accidental spray out of these harmful chemicals become high as a result. One way of preventing this is by the use of teflon coating. This provides extra protection to the flange guards and makes them more effective.

Polypropylene

It is possible that your business operates in a sector where under very harsh environmental condition of very high heat or pressure. If this is the case then protection in such harsh conditions requires extra care. Thus the choice of materials of flange guards in such extreme conditions needs to match the conditions as well to meet the necessary safety requirements.
