offers PP pipe, fittings and valves in unpigmented PP.
U-PP shows excellent purity levels when tested in standard static leach
tests (better than high-purity PVC) and has a superior surface quality,
i.e. smoothness (Ra=0.4 to 1.5 µm), making it a popular choice for high-
purity water systems. It is suitable as piping for high purity water systems,
compliant with USP Class VI for pharmaceutical high purity applications.
It is also approved by the FDA for contact with food. The disadvantage of
U-PP is it will degrade if exposed to UV light (sun light).

FEP is usually chosen for the outer tubing of dual containment PFA tube
systems. FEP is not used for moulding fittings.
TFM (modified PTFE)
TFM is a modified form of PTFE. It’s chemical and temperature resistance
is the same as standard PTFE but TFM can be welded together, or to PFA
parts. Also porosity is lower, tensile strength is higher, and cold flow is less.
The seats of the ChemValve, all-fluoropolymer lined butterfly valves are
made of TFM.
It is a tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) polymerized with less than <1%
perfluoropropylvinyl ether (PPVE) to produce a slightly higher density
molecular structure with side chain branching. This branching increases
polymer-chain entanglement, slightly lowers molecular weight, and
reduces voids as well as warpage of the material under pressure.
Compared to standard PTFE, TFM PTFE has higher permeation resistance
which means better resistance to aggressive chemical, less “cold flow” or
“creep” which means longer life for a butterfly valve seat for example and
smoother surfaces which translates to better abrasion resistance and lower
particle generation in high purity services.

ELASTOMERS
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
EPDM is a type of synthetic rubber, a cost effective elastomer used
as the standard seal material for most Chemline valves. E=ethylene,
P=propylene, D=diene and M refers to M-class according to ASTM
D-1418. The M class includes rubbers having a saturated chain of the
polymethylene type. EPDM has excellent chemical resistance on the great
majority of applications including acids, alkalis, salts and many others at
temperatures up to 90°C (194°F). EPDM is weak on organic compounds
and cannot be used on fats and petroleum oils.
Chemline valves seals of EPDM meet CSA standard B137.0 for non-
toxicity.
FKM or FPM (“Viton®“ Fluorocarbon Rubber)

FKM (or FPM) is a fluoroelastomer, polymerized from vinylidene fluoride
(VDF) and hexafluoropropylene (HPF). Other FKM types include other
additional monomers. “Viton®” is more expensive than EPDM so is usually
chosen as an alternate elastomer when required. It is a durable material,
offering excellent seal life in valves. Resistance to mineral acids, oils and
many aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons is excellent. FKM/FPM is weak
on sodium hydroxide. It is usually offered as a standard seal material for
PVDF valves because EPDM’s temperature rating is lower than that of
PVDF, whereas FKM’s maximum temperatures match or exceed those of
PVDF.
• FKM-C is a special formulation with higher resistance to chlorine
services. A butterfly or diaphragm valve with FKM-C seat or diaphragm
can work in services where usually only expensive all-PTFE lined valves
can. Elastomer seated valves usually have longer cycle life than those
with PTFE seals.
• FKM-F offers better chemical resistance on inorganic acids than
standard FKM. The Chemline chemical resistance guide shows ratings
for hydrochloric, nitric and sulphuric acids. A butterfly or diaphragm
valve with FKM-F seat or diaphragm can work in services where only all-
PTFE lined valves are normally selected. Elastomer seated valves usually
have longer cycle life than those with PTFE seals.
CPE (Chlorinated Polyethylene)

CPE is a high performance synthetic rubber material renown for long
life in outdoor membrane applications (pools, fountains, roofs, etc.).
As a seal material for Chemline valves it has found to be superior to all
other elastomers on sodium hypochlorite. It resists hypochlorite up to
full strength (13%). Ball valves supplied with CPE seals are very price
competitive on this service.
NITRILE (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene Copolymer, abv. NBR)

Nitrile (formerly referred to as Buna-N) has high chemical resistance
to oil and petroleum but is weak on oxidizing media i.e. acids. Nitrile
has excellent abrasion resistance and is less expensive than FKM/FPM.
It is often chosen as a seat material for Chemline butterfly valves in
landfill applications and for abrasive slurry applications. It is an excellent
alternative to FKM/FPM (Viton®) for petroleum based services.
Aflas®
Aflas® is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and propylene (TFE/P).
It offers excellent chemical resistance to strong acids and bases and
excellent oil resistance. It is used as an alternate o-ring material in
Chemline valves where higher chemical resistance than FKM/FPM is
required. It has high heat resistance making it a good choice for PVDF ball
valves seals.
