INTRODUCTIONThermoplastics and elastomers have outstanding resistance to a wide range of chemical reagents. The chemicalresistance of plastic piping is basically a function of the thermoplastic material and the compoundingcomponents. In general, the less compounding components used the better the chemical resistance.Thermoplastic pipes with significant filler percentages may be susceptible to chemical attack where an unfilledmaterial may be affected to a lesser degree or not at all.

Some newer piping products utilize a multi-layered (composite) construction. Both thermoplastic and non-thermoplastic materials are used for the layers. Layered composite material pipe may have chemical resistance thatdiffers from the chemical resistance of the individual material. Such resistance however, is a function both oftemperatures and concentration, and there are many reagents which can be handled for limited temperatureranges and concentrations. In borderline cases, it will be found that there is limited attack, generally resultingin some swelling due to absorption. There are also many cases where some attack will occur under specificconditions, but for many such applications, the use of plastic will be justified on economic grounds whenconsidered against alternative materials. Resistance is often affected (and frequently reduced) when handling anumber of chemicals or compounds containing impurities. For this reason, when specific applications are beingconsidered, it may be worthwhile to carry out tests using the actual product that will be encountered in service.The listing that follows does not address chemical combinations.

The data in the following tables were obtained from numerous sources in the industry. The information is based onimmersion tests on unstressed coupons, experiments and, when available, actual process experience as well as datafrom tests inclusive of stress from temperature and pressure. The end user should be aware of the fact that actualservice conditions will affect the chemical resistance.

Chemicals that do not normally affect the properties of an unstressed thermoplastic may cause completelydifferent behavior (such as stress cracking) when under thermal or mechanical stress (such as constant internalpressure or frequent thermal or mechanical stress cycles). Chemical resistance data from immersion tests cannotbe unconditionally applied to thermoplastic piping components subjected to continuous or frequent mechanicalor thermal stresses.

When the pipe will be subject to a continuous applied mechanical or thermal stress or to combinations ofchemicals, testing that duplicates the expected field conditions as closely as possible should be performed onrepresentative samples of the pipe product to properly evaluate plastic pipe for use in this application.

RATINGS1 High Resistance - All materials belonging to this class are completely or almost completely inert when used

with the specified chemical at the specified concentration/temperature levels.2 Limited Resistance - All materials belonging in this class are partially attacked by the specified chemicals at

the specified concentration/temperature levels. Life expectancy is thus shortened and it is recommended to usea higher safety factor than that adopted for Class 1 materials.

3 No Resistance - All materials in this class are severely attacked by the specified chemicals at the specifiedconcentration/temperature levels. They should, therefore, not be used.

The absence of any class indication for any given materials, signifies the absence of data for such material(s)with respect to the specific chemical(s), temperature(s) and concentration(s).

THERMOPLASTICS ABS - (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene) is ideal for residential and commercial sanitary (DWV) systems. With aworking pressure up to 230 psi, ABS is also suitable for industrial applications such as mine slurry lines.Temperature range is -40°C (-40°F) to 82°C (180°F). ABS is resistant to a wide variety of materials ranging fromsewage to household chemicals. It is joined by solvent cementing or threading.

PVC - (Polyvinyl Chloride) is the most frequently specified of all thermoplastic-piping materials. It has been usedsuccessfully for over 60 years. PVC is characterized by distinctive physical properties, and is resistant to corrosionand chemical attack by acids, alkalis, salt solutions and many other chemicals. It is attacked, however by polarsolvents such as ketones and aromatics. Of the various types and grades of PVC used in plastic piping, Type 1,Grade 1 PVC (Cell Classifications 12454) conforming to ASTM D1784, is the most common. The maximumservice temperature for PVC is 60°C (140°F) under pressure and 82°C (180°F) in drainage. With a design stressof 2,000 psi, PVC has the highest long-term hydrostatic strength 22.7°C (73°F) of any other major thermoplasticmaterial used for piping. PVC piping is joined by solvent cementing, threading, flanging, grooving, gasketedjoints, or mechanical joints.

CPVC - (Chlorinated PVC) (Cell Classification 23447), conforming to ASTM D 1784 has physical properties at22.7°C (73°F) similar to those of PVC; its chemical resistance is similar to or generally better than that of PVC.With a design stress of 2,000 psi and maximum service temperature of 93.3°C (200°F), CPVC has proven to bean excellent piping material for hot corrosive liquids, hot and cold water distribution and similar applications abovethe temperature range of PVC. CPVC piping is joined by solvent cementing, threading, flanging or grooved joints.

PE - (Polyethylene) is a member of the polyolefin group. It is tough and flexible even at subfreezing temperatures.Pipes are generally formulated with only an antioxidant and some pigments, usually carbon black, to screen outultraviolet radiation. ASTM D 1248 classifies three types. Type I low density, Type II medium density and TypeIII high density. Pipe is usually made from medium or high density for higher strength and hardness. PE isgenerally used for gas distribution, water lines and slurry lines.

PEX - (Cross-linked Polyethylene) is high density PE that undergoes a treatment to link single strands of PEthrough radical reactions between the molecules to form a dense network with up to 80% crosslinking. Theprimary reason to crosslink PE is to raise the thermal stability of the material. Service temperatures are raised to82°C (180°F). PEX pipe is primarily used for plumbing and radiant floor heating systems.

PP - (Polypropylene) is a lightweight polyolefin and generally high in chemical resistance. Although Type 1polypropylene conforming to ASTM D2146 is slightly lower in physical properties than PVC, it is chemicallyresistant to organic solvents as well as acids and alkalis. Generally, polypropylene should not be used in contactwith strong oxidizing acids, chlorinated hydrocarbons and aromatics. Polypropylene has a design stress of 1,000psi at 22.7°C (73°F), and has proven to be an excellent material for laboratory and industrial drainage pipe wheremixtures of acids, bases and solvents are involved. Polypropylene is joined by the electro fusion process,socket/butt/IR welding as well as mechanical joints.

PVDF - (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) is a strong, abrasion-resistant thermoplastic with excellent heat stability andchemical resistance typical of fluorocarbon polymers. It can be used in temperatures up to 149°C (300°F) witha wide variety of acids, bases and organic solvents, and is ideally suited for handling wet or dry chlorine, bromineand other halogens. No other thermoplastic piping material can approach the combination of strength, chemicalresistance and operating temperature that PVDF piping systems can offer. Electro fusion socket/butt/IR welding,threading, or flanged connections are the joining methods used for PVDF.

ELASTOMERSBUNA-N - (Nitrile) (NBR) is a general purpose oil resistant polymer known as nitrile rubber. BUNA-N is acopolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile. BUNA-N has good solvent, oil, water and hydraulic fluid resistance. Itdisplays good compression set, abrasion resistance and tensile strength. BUNA-N should not be used in highlypolar solvents such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone, nor should it be used in chlorinated hydrocarbons,ozone or nitro hydrocarbons. Temperature range -54°C (-65°F) to 135°C (275°F).

EPDM - (EPM) is an elastomer made from ethylene-propylene diene monomer. EPDM has good abrasion and tearresistance and offers excellent chemical resistance to a variety of acids and alkalines. It is susceptible to attackby oils and is not recommended for applications involving petroleum oils, strong acids or strong alkalines. It hasexceptionally good weather, ageing and ozone resistance. It is fairly good with ketones and alcohols and has anexcellent temperature range from -54°C (-65°F) to 49°C (300°F).

Fluorocarbon - (FPM) (FKM) (Viton®) Fluorocarbon elastomers are inherently compatible with a broad spectrumof chemicals. Because of this extensive chemical compatibility, which spans considerable concentration andtemperature ranges, fluorocarbon elastomers have gained wide acceptance as a material of construction forbutterfly valve o-rings and seats. Fluorocarbon elastomers can be used in most applications involving mineralacids, salt solutions, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and petroleum oils. They are particularly good in hydrocarbonservice. Temperature range -29°C (-15°F) to 204°C (400°F).

SBR - (Styrene-Butadiene) The basic monomers are butadiene and styrene, with styrene content approximately23.5%. It is useful over a temperature range of -57°C (-70°F) to 107°C (224°F). It is compatible with water,alcohol, and weak acids but is not compatible with mineral oils, petroleum greases and fuels.

Teflon®® - (PTFE) Polytetrafluoroethylene has outstanding resistance to chemical attack by most chemicals andsolvents. PTFE has a temperature rating of -29°C ( -20°F) to 204°C (400°F) in valve applications. PTFE, a selflubricating compound, is used as a seat material in ball valves. PTFE is not included in this chart because it isresistant to all listed compounds.
