OK....I went the the website, and there's a list of dozens of potential
applications...a small sample:
Alcohol Industries
Ammunition, Missile & Explosives
Plants
Automotive Plants (Spray Booth)
Bakery's
Breweries & Distilleries
Chemical Manufacturing
Fabricated Metal Products
Fertilizer Plants
Flammable Materials Manufacturing, Handling and Warehousing
Flour Mills
Furniture Manufacturers (Varnish and Painting handling)
Gas Plants & Coke By-Products
Glass Manufacturers
Glue Factories
Ink Industries
Insulation Manufacturing
Leather Products (Tanneries)
Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG)

....but still!

I suspect that the "beryllium-free" part is what makes them so
expensive--beryllium copper is normally used in those applications and it's
expensive enough.
