MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS POLYPROPYLENE PP (COPOLYMER) An excellent polymer with proven chemical resistance in a wide variety of applications. It has good mechanical properties and, unlike the homopolymers, has relatively good cold temperature impact resistance. KYNAR FLEX PVDF (COPOLYMER) (POLYVINYLIDENE FLUORIDE) A fluoropolymer with excellent resistance to most chemicals. It has good stability and is resistant to radiation, abrasion, cold temperature and stress cracking. Better than a homopolymer. HALAR -ECTFE (ETHYLENE CHLOROTRIFLUORO ETHYLENE) A Fluoropolymer with exceptional chemical and physical properties. It is superior where permeation, mechanical stress, and abrasion are troublesome. Click image for larger view (ETFE) Fusion Bonded (ETHYLENE TETRA FLUOROETHYLENE) A fluoropolymer with superior chemical and physical properties. It is recommended in high pressure, vacuum, or systems where cold flow and joint creep are a problem. We call it the problem solver. PTFE (POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE) PTFE is an excellent fluoropolymer, virtually inert to all chemicals. It possesses high tempeiture corrosion resistance to almost all chemicals except Fluorine and Alkali metals. Its non-stick properties minimize or eliminate residue build-up on pipe walls. (vented) MPFA / PFA (PERFLUOROALKOXY) MPFA / PFA is a newer melt-processible resin with the same chemical resistance, but with mechanical strength superior to PTFE. It can also be used at somewhat higher temperatures under the same conditions. (vented) ASTM Standards Fusibond plastic lined pipe and Fittings comply with the following ASTM's: F1545-96 COMBINED SPEC.
