Corrosion Resistant

corrosion resistant plastics thyssenkrupp materials na

thyssenkrupp Engineered Plastics stocks a full line of advanced quality chemical resistant plastics that are suitable for any application that requires high corrosion-resistance. When choosing a corrosion resistant plastics product, special attention should be given to the chemicals or corrosive agents the plastic material will be exposed to. Be sure to review any technical information and to thoroughly test materials for the application they will be used in.

Corrosion-Proof Plastics:

Some of the most common corrosion resistant plastics are listed below. The selection of the right material for an application is based on the needs of the end user. Criteria includes what the plastic material will be exposed to, temperatures the plastic will be exposed to, moisture and more. A tkEP salesperson can assist you with material selection. Contact us with your questions today.

Corzan CPVC

Corzan CPVC is a high heat, corrosion resistant chlorinated polyvinyl chloride(CPVC) sheet. Because of its excellent corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures, it is ideally suited for self–supporting constructions where high temperatures are a concern. It can be used (depending on chemistry) up to 180°F. Corzan CPVC conforms to ASTM–D–1784–95 Class 23447–B (formerly Type IV Grade 1) and is manufactured without fillers or plasticizers. It exhibits excellent fire properties UL–94V–0 and flame spread less than 20 per ASTM E–84. Corzan CPVC is a system approach which allows you, our customer (through numerous component manufacturers) to provide a totally integrated system, all produced from the same family of Corzan materials.

Extren

Extren glass reinforced shapes offer the engineer, architect, maintenance man and fabricator a structural material for solving many design and plant engineering problems. Extren® shapes have unique properties to cope with corrosion problems, particularly where environmental conditions indicate that conventional materials of construction do not provide the economic service life. Extren® shapes are used as beams, columns, braces, trusses, tension members, platforms and railings, supports, base and floor plates, separators and dividers, tooling and fixtures. Extren® shapes are also used for corrosive environments, environmental control systems, electrical applications, chemcial processing, electrochemical refining, electrolytic processing, textile manufacturing, water treatment, sewage treatment, pulp and paper manufacture, rubber manufacture, air and gas cleaning systems, cooling systems, glass manufacture, aerators, electrical distribution systems, materials handling, agricultural equipment, clean rooms and refrigeration, electroplating, transport systems, communications systems, aircraft industry, automotive industry.

High Density Polyethylene

High density polyethylene offers superior corrosion resistance, a higher working temperature range, and higher tensile strength. This material outperforms low density polyethylene in physical and chemical properties, but it is less flexible than low density polyethylene. Sterilization can be done by boiling. Outdoor exposure is similar to low density polyethylene. Heat distortion temp.: 170°F. Color: semi–opaque.

PVDF

We offer the brand name Kynar® for your PVDF sheet or rod needs. PVDF is a high molecular weight thermoplastics polymer, with outstanding chemical inertness & excellent corrosion resistance. Highly resistant to oxidizing agents and the halogens; nearly complete resistance to allphatic, aromatics, alcohols, acids and chlorinated solvents, resistant to most acids and bases except fuming sulfuric.

Properties: Mechanically strong, tough High dielectric strength Thermally stable Resistant to low temperatures Stable to ultraviolet and extreme weather conditions Self-extinguishing Non-toxic AVAILABLE IN HOMOPOLYMER & COPOLYMER GRADES.

Low Density Polyethylene

Low–density polyethylene–an extruded material offering good corrosion resistance properties and low moisture permeability. It can be used in applications where corrosion resistance is a factor, but stiffness, high temperatures, and structural strength are not. It can be easily fabricated, vacuum formed, and welded. This material is an economical option for many applications requiring low temperature flexibility, toughness and durability. It is resistant to stress–cracking and has wide acceptability in transporting water and chemicals. Extrusion in black are recommended to improve durability in direct sunlight or outdoor exposure. Heat distortion temp.: 120°F. Color: milky.
