Commonly Used Materials
MATERIALS
Neoprene Coated Polyester
Made from Chloroprene Polymer (CR), Neoprene exhibits resistance to moderate chemicals, acids, oils,fats, grease, numerous solvents, and ozone. While it remains susceptible to strong oxidizing acids, esters,ketones, chlorinated aromatic, and nitro hydrocarbons. Neoprene showcases excellent weatheringcapabilities. This versatile material has good general physical properties.
Hypalon Coated Polyester
CSM - Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene, closely resembling Neoprene, offers enhanced Acid Resistance and exceptional ozone resistance. While it excels in environments with corrosive chemicals, it can be affected by concentrated oxidizing acids, esters, ketones, chlorinated aromatic, and nitro hydrocarbons. Hypalon stands out as one of the top elastomers for use in settings exposed to mild chemical environments.
Viton Fiberglass Reinforced
This offers superior chemical resistance, high-temperature performance, and added strength for reliable use in tough environments. Its material has excellent resistance to hot oils, synthetic lubricants, gasoline, JP fuels and commercial dry-cleaning fluids. Temperature range - 54°C up to 260°C.
PVC
PVC, or Polyvinyl Chloride, is a widely used synthetic plastic material known for its versatility and durability. It finds applications in various industries, including construction, healthcare, electronics, and more, due to its excellent properties, such as resistance to chemicals, weathering, and impact. PVC is a cost-effective solution for a wide range of products and provides a reliable choice for many manufacturing needs.
Aluminum Coated Fiberglass
Fiberglass, a synthetic material primarily composed of silica sand then layered with a Aluminized Film , is suitable for Higher Temperature applications. It exhibits remarkable heat resistance and is non-combustible. Being non-absorbent, Fiberglass remains impervious to water, preventing rot and decay. Moreover, it showcases resistance to acids, oils, numerous solvents, weather, and corrosive vapors. When coated with aluminum, fiberglass gains a 95% reflective heat property, making it an excellent choice for high-heat applications.
PTFE Coated Fiberglass
(PTFE - Polytetrafluoroethylene) Demonstrates remarkable chemical inertness and outstanding resistance to a wide array of fluids, with only a select few capable of affecting PTFE. Its toughness remains intact across a temperature range spanning from 37°C to 260°C.
