In addition to high-resistance, this durable plastic for hot water and steam also offers advanced barrier properties, such as scratch resistance. Solef® PVDF necessitates no extra additives because of its low values of leachables and extractables. This property makes its products inherently plasticizer-free and grants Solef® PVDF intrinsic stability when exposed to harsh environments. Formulated with outstanding chemical inertness to most chemicals, compounds and solvents, Solef® PVDF is a long-lasting plastic for plumbing that offers unparalleled durability and functions as a foundational polymer in sustainability.
Solef® PVDF's high long-term hydrostatic strength (LTHS) properties are well-suited for the high-pressure and extreme thermal environments found in multilayer piping systems. This high-performance polymer for plumbing is widely utilized in critical systems that require extremely high purity, such as membranes for drinking water filtration, and plumbing. Additionally, the advanced properties of Solef® PVDF make it ideal for applications including fittings, sliding sleeves, manifolds, pipes, lining and coatings. As this multi-faceted polymer is resistant to bleach concentrations found in various sanitation devices, Solef® PVDF is an advantageous alternative for use in waste disposal systems.
Ryton® PPS
Ryton® PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) is an ultra-resistant and moldable polymer for plumbing that provides high chemical resistance, low viscosity and exceptional dimensional stability in water due to its low absorption rates. As a leader in internal cellular longevity, Ryton® PPS offers outstanding thermal stability and high chemical resistance when used in a wide variety of solvents and chemicals at elevated temperatures.
