Note: Properties of plastics and elastomers vary because different PP (Pigmented Polypropylene) compounds of the same material are used for different products and Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic polyolefin made from the olefin components. The following materials descriptions are of a general nature. propylene. A more modern term for polyolefin is polyalkene. Chemline Chemline should be consulted for material recommendations on specific offers piping systems, valves and controls normally in pigmented PP. The applications. addition of grey-beige pigment prevents degradation due to ultraviolet light penetration. THERMOPLASTICS PP is used in a wide variety of applications from acids and alkali’s to Most plastics are made from synthetic resins (polymers) through the organic solvents as well as pure water. PP is one of the best materials to process of polymerization. Two main types of plastics are thermoplastics use for systems exposed to varying pH levels, as many plastics do not and thermosets. Thermoplastic products are injection moulded or handle both acids and bases well. It is excellent on acids such hydrochloric extruded from compound material processed under heat and pressure. and but unsuitable on strong acids like concentrated nitric, also chlorinated hydrocarbons, aromatic compounds and high PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) concentrations of free . The largest selection of Chemline valves and controls are moulded in PVC. This rigid gray colour material is unplasticized polyvinyl chloride. PP is ductile at ambient temperature and has good impact strength. It PVC is formed by the polymerization of the vinyl chloride monomer. also has good thermal stability up to 90°C (194°F) , higher than that of Unplasticized PVC or PVC-U has excellent mechanical and chemical other thermoplastics such as PVC and HDPE. It is light weight. The specific resistance properties at low cost. The working temperature range of gravity is 0.91 compared to 1.4 for PVC. It’s abrasion resistance is good, PVC valves is 0 to 60°C (30 to 140°F). Vinyl is plasticized PVC. The added much better than that of PVC. This is a feature of Chemline PVC butterfly plasticizer produces a flexibile material for such products as tubing, but valves which have PP discs as standard. offers poor chemical resistance. Chemline PP pipe and fittings weld together very well using either butt The PVC used for Chemline valves is identified by cell classification or socket fusion. The pressure losses in PP piping systems are lower than number 11564-A as per ASTM Standard D 1784. Suffix “A” refers to the metal because of the smooth inside surfaces of the pipes. This property highest chemical resistance rating. Most other PVC valves as well as pipe also minimizes or eliminates deposits or bacterial growth. PP is a poor and fittings have only a “B” chemical resistance rating. The special PVC conductor of heat, i.e. is a good insulator. Chilled or hot water systems in “A” compound used in Chemline valves resists attack of most acids, PP often require no insulation. strong alkalais, salts and many other chemicals. High chemical resistance PP is very inert and relatively inexpensive, thus popular for high purity of this material allows its application on aggressive services such as water systems. The standard pigmented material is normally used. 98% H2 SO4, dry chlorine and low pressure wet chlorine gas. PVC is Special grades include U-PP (unpigmented, natural) translucent material attacked by chlorinated hydrocarbons, ketones, esters and some aromatic sometimes preferred for pure water systems, pigmented black for the compounds. It can be used on solutions containing up to 1000 ppm highest resistance to UV light, flame retardant grades to meet building solvents. code requirements, and electro-conductive grades for volatile media. Chemline PVC valves are non-toxic. They meet CSA standard B137.0 for Polypropylene is available in two grades: toxicity and NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for contact with drinking water. They are resistant to damaging effects of sunlight and weathering, thus painting • Homopolymer (PP-H) made from Type I resin conforming to ASTM is not necessary. D 4101, produced from 100% propylene monomer. PP-H is the most widely utilized. It offers a high strength to weight ratio and is stiffer CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) and stronger than the copolymer grade. Piping is normally PP-H. a few CPVC is PVC that has been chlorinated via a free radical chlorination Chemline valves are also PP-H. The working temperature range of PP-H reaction. It is similar to PVC in chemical resistance. Mechanically it is back pressure valves for example is 10 to 70°C (50 to 158°F). more ductile than PVC. It’s main difference is higher working temperature • Random Copolymer (PP-R) made from Type II resin produced from ratings and is therefore used where temperatures are too high for PVC 94% propylene with 6% . PP-R is a bit softer but has better or when an extra margin of safety is required. Valves are suitable for impact strength, is tougher and more durable than PP-H. Copolymer applications from 0 to 95°C (30 to 200°F). polypropylene has better stress crack resistance and low temperature The CPVC compound used for Chemline valves is classified as 23567-A toughness than homopolymer at the expense of small reductions in as per ASTM D 1784. The suffix “A” denotes conformance to the highest other properties. Most Chemline valves and all the pipe fittings are chemical resistance rating. Most other CPVC valves as well as pipe and PP-R. PP-R pipe is also available. The working temperature range of fittings have only a “B” chemical resistance rating. The compound is non- Chemline’s PP-R ball valves is –20 to 80°C (–4 to 176°F) and up to 90°C toxic, conforming to CSA toxicity standard B137.0. (194°F) for diaphragm valves. U-PP (Unpigmented Polypropylene) U-PP is produced from high-purity virgin random copolymer. Chemline offers PP pipe, fittings and valves in unpigmented PP. U-PP shows excellent purity levels when tested in standard static leach tests (better than high-purity PVC) and has a superior surface quality, i.e. smoothness (Ra=0.4 to 1.5 µm), making it a popular choice for high- purity water systems. It is suitable as piping for high purity water systems, compliant with USP Class VI for pharmaceutical high purity applications. It is also approved by the FDA for contact with food. The disadvantage of U-PP is it will degrade if exposed to UV light (sun light).

THERMOSETS Thermosets are polymers that irreversibly cure. The curing process Fluoropolymers are fluorocarbon based polymers with multiple strong transforms the resin into a larger molecular weight plastic by a cross- carbon- bonds. They are characterized by a high resistance to linking process. The process is initiated through heat, generally solvents, acids, and bases. They have high application temperature above 200°C (392°F), through a chemical reaction (two-part epoxy is ranges. an example), or irradiation. Due to the three dimensional network of bonds (cross-linking), thermoset materials are generally stronger than PTFE () thermoplastic materials and have higher temperature ratings. PTFE is almost totally insoluble and chemically inert. It has high temperature resistance. Ball seats of PTFE have natural lubricity. Chemline PDCPD (Polydicyclopentadiene) diaphragm valves with PTFE diaphragms and PTFE bonded EPDM flange PDCPD is a polyolefin thermoset polymer which is formed through the gaskets are suitable for the most severe chemical resistance applications. polymerisation of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD). It is used for Chemline PTFE’s weakness is that during the forming process the powder butterfly valve bodies from 16” to 48” sizes and air release valves. raw material cannot flow, so the finished material is left with some Reaction Injection Moulding (RIM) is the manufacturing process. PDCPD microporosity. This allows it to “cold flow” or creep under conditions of has excellent corrosion resistance, similar to that of PP and high tensile pressure and temperature. The microporsity also reduces the polymer’s strength which translates to high valve working pressures. PDCPD body permeation resistance. Chemline PTFE diaphragms are supplied standard butterfly valves offer higher working pressures than those with PP bodies with PVDF gas barriers to avoid permeation problems which may reduce at the same price. For example a 20” or 24” Type 75 butterfly valve at the diaphragm life. Newer fluoroplymers such as PFA and TFM were 30°C (86°F) is 110 psi rated with PDCPD body and 50 psi rated with PP developed to overcome PTFE’s weak properties. body. Impact strength and dimensional stability is also high. PFA (Perfluoralkoxy) FRP Perfluoralkoxy (PFA) is a fully fluorinated polymer with the same chemical Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) is a composite material made from glass resistance and high temperature performance as PTFE. The big difference reinforcement in a thermoset polymer, usually vinyl ester resin. Chemline is that it is melt process able. PFA can be extruded to make pipe or tubing, FRP damper butterfly valves are made from high elongation vinyl ester for or injection molded for tube fittings. It has much lower porosity than PTFE high resistance to impact and thermal shock. Special additives to the FRP and is translucent instead of opaque white. Mechanically it is stronger. can be provided for extremely high abrasion resistance in dirty corrosive The threads in a moulded PFA tube fitting are vastly superior in durability gas handing applications. Fire retardants are always incorporated for the and strength compared to the threads machined on a comparable Chemline damper butterflies. PTFE fitting. Application temperature is to150°C (300°F). Chemline recommends PFA as the best choice of fluoropolymer tubing. Like PTFE GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) and TFM the PFA fluoropolymer is made from tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) GRP is another term for FRP. Flange rings on large Chemline Cavity Free and perfluoropropylvinyl ether (PPVE) monomer units. However, it is ball valves are GRP. polymerized with a higher percentage of the PPVE comonomer; as much VE-CF as 3 to 4% compared to <1% for TFM PTFE. This increases polymer-chain VE-CF is a proprietary composite thermoset material. It is composed of entanglement at lower molecular weight levels and makes it melt process vinyl ester filled with 10% carbon fiber and 10% . It is the body able. material of Chemline’s ChemValve TFM (PTFE) lined butterfly valves. FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) VE-CF has high temperature rating of 130°C (266°F), and high tensile FEP is a melt-process able fully fluorinated polymer with similar chemical strength for high valve working pressures. It has high impact strength even resistance as PTFE and PFA and similar low porosity and translucency as at low temperatures. All these properties mean durability and safety in PFA. FEP is a copolymer of hexafluoropropylene and tetrafluoroethylene severe and difficult chemical applications. (TFE) resin. FEP is less expensive than PFA tubing but the temperature rating is not as high and mechanical properties not as good. Convoluted FEP is usually chosen for the outer tubing of dual containment PFA tube systems. FEP is not used for moulding fittings. TFM (modified PTFE) TFM is a modified form of PTFE. It’s chemical and temperature resistance is the same as standard PTFE but TFM can be welded together, or to PFA parts. Also porosity is lower, tensile strength is higher, and cold flow is less. The seats of the ChemValve, all-fluoropolymer lined butterfly valves are made of TFM. It is a tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) polymerized with less than <1% perfluoropropylvinyl ether (PPVE) to produce a slightly higher density molecular structure with side chain branching. This branching increases polymer-chain entanglement, slightly lowers molecular weight, and reduces voids as well as warpage of the material under pressure. Compared to standard PTFE, TFM PTFE has higher permeation resistance which means better resistance to aggressive chemical, less “cold flow” or “creep” which means longer life for a butterfly valve seat for example and smoother surfaces which translates to better abrasion resistance and lower particle generation in high purity services.

ELASTOMERS EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) EPDM is a type of synthetic rubber, a cost effective elastomer used as the standard seal material for most Chemline valves. E=ethylene, P=propylene, D=diene and M refers to M-class according to ASTM D-1418. The M class includes rubbers having a saturated chain of the polymethylene type. EPDM has excellent chemical resistance on the great majority of applications including acids, alkalis, salts and many others at temperatures up to 90°C (194°F). EPDM is weak on organic compounds and cannot be used on fats and petroleum oils. Chemline valves seals of EPDM meet CSA standard B137.0 for non- toxicity.

FKM or FPM (“Viton®“ Fluorocarbon Rubber) FKM (or FPM) is a fluoroelastomer, polymerized from vinylidene fluoride (VDF) and hexafluoropropylene (HPF). Other FKM types include other additional monomers. “Viton®” is more expensive than EPDM so is usually chosen as an alternate elastomer when required. It is a durable material, offering excellent seal life in valves. Resistance to mineral acids, oils and many aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons is excellent. FKM/FPM is weak on sodium hydroxide. It is usually offered as a standard seal material for PVDF valves because EPDM’s temperature rating is lower than that of PVDF, whereas FKM’s maximum temperatures match or exceed those of PVDF. • FKM-C is a special formulation with higher resistance to chlorine services. A butterfly or with FKM-C seat or diaphragm can work in services where usually only expensive all-PTFE lined valves can. Elastomer seated valves usually have longer cycle life than those with PTFE seals. • FKM-F offers better chemical resistance on inorganic acids than standard FKM. The Chemline chemical resistance guide shows ratings for hydrochloric, nitric and sulphuric acids. A butterfly or diaphragm valve with FKM-F seat or diaphragm can work in services where only all- PTFE lined valves are normally selected. Elastomer seated valves usually have longer cycle life than those with PTFE seals.

CPE (Chlorinated Polyethylene) CPE is a high performance synthetic rubber material renown for long life in outdoor membrane applications (pools, fountains, roofs, etc.). As a seal material for Chemline valves it has found to be superior to all other elastomers on sodium hypochlorite. It resists hypochlorite up to full strength (13%). Ball valves supplied with CPE seals are very price competitive on this service.

NITRILE (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene Copolymer, abv. NBR) Nitrile (formerly referred to as Buna-N) has high chemical resistance to oil and petroleum but is weak on oxidizing media i.e. acids. Nitrile has excellent abrasion resistance and is less expensive than FKM/FPM. It is often chosen as a seat material for Chemline butterfly valves in landfill applications and for abrasive slurry applications. It is an excellent alternative to FKM/FPM (Viton®) for petroleum based services.

Aflas® Aflas® is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and propylene (TFE/P). It offers excellent chemical resistance to strong acids and bases and excellent oil resistance. It is used as an alternate o-ring material in Chemline valves where higher chemical resistance than FKM/FPM is required. It has high heat resistance making it a good choice for PVDF ball valves seals.
