Materials That Withstand Aggressive Chemical Environments

Chemical processing, electroplating, semiconductor manufacturing and pharmaceutical environments expose components to acids, bases, solvents and oxidising agents that corrode metal and degrade standard plastics over time. Chemically resistant engineering plastics maintain their mechanical properties, dimensional stability and purity under sustained exposure to these media, without the corrosion risk of metal or the contamination risk of unsuitable polymers.

Different chemical resistant materials are suited to different combinations of chemical exposure, temperature and mechanical load. Fluoropolymers such as PTFE, PVDF, ETFE and ECTFE offer the broadest chemical inertness, while high-performance plastics such as PEEK combine strong chemical resistance with mechanical strength and high-temperature capability for structural and precision applications.

Plastix Factory supplies this material range as standard stock and CNC-machined finished parts, selected according to the specific media, temperature and mechanical requirements of your process.

Broad Chemical Compatibility

Resistant to a wide range of acids, bases, solvents and oxidising agents depending on grade.

High Purity

Low extractables and contamination risk, suited to semiconductor and pharmaceutical process environments.

No Corrosion

Eliminates the corrosion failure modes associated with metal components in chemical environments.

Temperature Stability

Chemical resistance maintained across a wide range of operating temperatures, depending on material grade.

Chemical Resistant Material Range

PEEK and four fluoropolymers cover chemical inertness, mechanical strength, permeation resistance and temperature stability across the range of aggressive process media and operating conditions.

PEEK

High-performance thermoplastic combining broad chemical and hydrolysis resistance with mechanical strength up to 250°C.

PTFE

The benchmark fluoropolymer for chemical inertness, resistant to virtually all industrial chemicals.

PVDF

Fluoropolymer offering strong chemical resistance with better mechanical strength than PTFE and good abrasion resistance.

ETFE

Fluoropolymer combining chemical resistance with high mechanical strength, UV stability and transparency.

ECTFE

Fluoropolymer with excellent permeation resistance, abrasion resistance and chemical inertness for linings and coatings.

Typical Applications

Chemical resistant plastics are applied across processing equipment, electroplating installations, semiconductor manufacturing and pharmaceutical environments wherever corrosive media or purity requirements rule out metal.

Chemical Processing Equipment

Tanks, liners, valve components, fittings and structural parts in contact with corrosive process media.

Electroplating Installations

Components resistant to acid baths, plating solutions and aggressive electro chemical process environments.

Semiconductor Manufacturing

Wafer handling, process chamber and wet-bench components requiring high purity and chemical inertness.

Pharmaceutical & Sterilisation Equipment

Parts requiring chemical resistance combined with radiation or sterilisation resistance.
