Udel® PSU ensures good creep resistance and low water uptake when submerged in water, which makes this specialty polymer a leader in heating components for hot chlorinated water environments.
Udel® PSU has successfully replaced brass in pressurized hot water applications for over 20 years. The specialty polymer’s ability to adapt to diverse heat and climate guarantees cost-effective material for systems that require continuous exposure to hot chlorinated water, including manifolds, heat meters, pumps, pipes and balancing valves.
Solef® PVDF
Solef® PVDF is a fluorinated semi-crystalline thermoplastic that provides outstanding chemical inertness to most chemicals, compounds and solvents. In addition to high-resistance, this ultra-sustainable specialty polymer requires no extra additives, and its low values of leachables and extractables offer Solef® PVDF inherent stability when exposed to harsh environments. Formulated for remarkable toughness, Solef® PVDF contains exceptional durability and serves as a reliable material against steam and pressure found in modern heating systems.
Long-term hydrostatic strength (LTHS) properties ensure Solef® PVDF is an excellent choice for any high-pressure or extreme thermal environments found in heating systems. Additionally, the advanced properties of Solef® PVDF make it ideal for pipes within district heating systems.
Ryton® PPS
Ryton® PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) is formulated to provide high chemical resistance, low viscosity and outstanding dimensional stability in high-pressure water environments due to its low moisture intake. As a leader in internal cellular longevity, Ryton® PPS guarantees extended life cycle through a combination of excellent thermal stability and high chemical resistance when used in a wide variety of solvents and chemicals at elevated temperatures.
Ryton® PPS’s unmatched dimensional stability provides complex parts with extremely tight tolerances in molding capabilities and maintains stability in harsh chemical environments and long-term temperatures of up to 200°C (392°F). This adaptable thermoplastic offers advanced mechanical properties that are especially beneficial for injections into thin-walled parts in heat meters, pumps, manifolds, boiler tanks and components, pumps, pipes, and balancing valves.
Amodel® PPA
Amodel® PPA (polyphthalamide) is a high-performance aromatic polyamide that exhibits extreme dimensional stability, as well as outstanding resistance to creep and fatigue. These high performing properties have elevated Amodel® PPA as the standard in rigorous, high temperature, high-pressure heating system environments. Amodel® PPA components support their initial high strength and stiffness amid the continuous humidity often found in these systems.
With excellent resistance and durability, Amodel® PPA is suitable for systems with intermittent exposure to hot chlorinated water such as manifolds, heat meters, pumps, pipes and balancing valves.
Omnix® HPPA
Omnix® HPPA is a chemically resistant polyamide that closes the cost-performance gap between lower performing PA66 and higher performing polyphthalamide, such as Amodel® PPA. This high-performing specialty polymer implements dimensional stability and lower warpage to ensure long-lasting durability in chemically concentrated environments. Omnix® HPPA’s high strength and stiffness retention enables longer lasting and more cost-effective heating system components than competing traditional metals.
Omnix® HPPA contains advanced mechanical and physical properties that are excellent for boiler tanks and components, heat meters, pumps, pipes, balancing valves and manifolds.
